Journal Article
Fotouhi, S., Khayatzadeh, S., Pui, W. X., Damghani, M., Bodaghi, M., & Fotouhi, M. (2021). Detection of barely visible impact damage in polymeric laminated composites using a biomimetic tactile whisker. Polymers, 13(20), Article 3587. https://doi.org/10.3390/polym13203587

This is a novel investigation on the possibility of detecting barely visible impact damage (BVID) in composite materials by whisking across the surface via tactile whisker sensors that resemble rats' whiskers. A series of drop tower low-velocity impa... Read More about Detection of barely visible impact damage in polymeric laminated composites using a biomimetic tactile whisker.

Automated extraction of 3D printed parts from unfused PA12 powder using a one-shot 3D printed compliant gripper (2021)
Journal Article
Cormack, J., Fotouhi, M., Adams, G., & Pipe, T. (2021). Automated extraction of 3D printed parts from unfused PA12 powder using a one-shot 3D printed compliant gripper. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 6(4), 8655-8662. https://doi.org/10.1109/lra.2021.3113383

Automated individual part extraction from powder based 3D printers has the potential to save time and cost compared with fully manual part extraction, or part sorting following automated bulk separation of parts and unfused powder. This work details... Read More about Automated extraction of 3D printed parts from unfused PA12 powder using a one-shot 3D printed compliant gripper.
