Modelling and assessment of repairs conducted on composite materials (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Over the last few decades there has been an increased adoption of composite materials into engineering systems. This mainly to reduce weight, resulting in lowered energy and fuel consumption. At present, unlike its metallic counterparts, composites m... Read More about Modelling and assessment of repairs conducted on composite materials.

Bio-inspired design to support reduced energy consumption via the ‘light weighting’ of machine system elements (2015)
Journal Article

A potential technique to reduce the energy required to actuate moving parts in a machine is to reduce their mass. This paper presents initial research attempting to answer this question for robotic arm application using a biologically inspired approa...
