A hybrid approach to support robotic polishing process planning (2023)
Book Chapter
Wang, K., Ding, L., Dailami, F., & Matthews, J. (2023). A hybrid approach to support robotic polishing process planning. In Y. X. Gan (Ed.), Research and Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 8 (193-217). B P International (a part of SCIENCEDOMAIN International). https://doi.org/10.9734/bpi/rader/v8/10312f

Currently, mechanical polishing and manual labour are used to complete the finishing stages of the manufacture of moulds. This stage of the procedure is not only the most expensive, but it is also currently experiencing a shortage of experienced peop...

CFD simulation and analysis of gas to water two phase closed thermosyphon based heat exchanger (2014)
Book Chapter
Ramos, J., Chong, A., Tan, C. K., Matthews, J., Boocock, M., & Jouhara, H. (2014). CFD simulation and analysis of gas to water two phase closed thermosyphon based heat exchanger. In C. A. Brebbia, & B. Sundén (Eds.), Heat Transfer XIII: Simulation and Experiments in Heat and Mass Transfer (217-228). Coruna, Spain: WIT Press

Wickless heat pipes are devices with high reliability and heat transfer potential per unit area. Owed to that fact, their application range has been widened in the past 20 years. In the process industry, they are usually coupled to waste heat recover... Read More about CFD simulation and analysis of gas to water two phase closed thermosyphon based heat exchanger.

Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing (2011)
Book Chapter
Owen, G. W., Matthews, J., McIntosh, R. I., & Culley, C. J. (2011). Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing. In F. Fogliatto, & G. da Silveira (Eds.), Mass Customization –Engineering and Managing Global Operations (247-273). UK: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-489-0_12

A highly flexible manufacturing capability is central to the paradigm of mass customisation. In turn the role of rapid, high quality changeovers is crucial to this capability, whereby production can be switched with minimal penalty across a full (and...

A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation (2006)
Book Chapter
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Medland, A. J., & Mullineux, G. (2006). A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation. In R. Rohatyski, & P. Polednik (Eds.), Design methods for practice (95-104). Zielona Gora, Poland: Design Society

For design and development engineers, difficulties arise ensuring that existing manufacturing equipment has the potential to handle both large product variation and complexity of process. The food processing industry maintains the highest number of p...

Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance (2006)
Book Chapter
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Medland, A. J., Mullineux, G., & Hicks, B. (2006). Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance. In S. Tichkiewitch, & M. Tollenaere (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering, IDMME 2006. AIP-PRIMECA

When new design tasks are undertaken, knowledge of the design area is often ill-understood and the appropriate design rules are unclear. What are more apparent are the constraints which place limits upon the allowable forms of feasible design. This p...
