Staking is a cold metal joining process widely used in the manufacture of self-lubricating spherical plain aerospace bearings. These are used to form components such as tie-rod links or threaded rod ends as often seen on control surfaces for rotary w...

Dynamic mesh framework for morphing wings CFD (2019)
Thesis
In this work, a framework to perform high fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of dynamically morphing airfoils and wings is presented. An unsteady parametric method to model the deforming motion is proposed and then implemented in a... Read More about Dynamic mesh framework for morphing wings CFD.
Marimo machines: Oscillators, biosensors and actuators (2019)
Journal Article
Background The green algae balls (Aegagropila linnaei), known as Marimo, are large spherical colonies of live photosynthetic filaments, formed by rolling water currents in freshwater lakes. Photosynthesis therein produces gas bubbles that can attach... Read More about Marimo machines: Oscillators, biosensors and actuators.
