Dynamic modelling for the family of 5-axis CNC milling machines with application to feed-rate optimization (2025)
Journal Article

The 5-axis CNC milling machines are complex mechanical systems, and they can be designed with hundreds of 5 degrees of freedom mechanisms. The kinematic and dynamic modelling of machines is crucial for optimising the machine design and the milling pr...

Bilinear stiffness and bimodular Poisson's ratio in cylindrical sinusoidal lattices through topology morphing (2024)
Journal Article

Bilinear elastic behaviour allows structural designs to respond in either a stiff or compliant manner depending on the load. Here a cylindrical sinusoidal lattice structure is described that stiffens beyond a certain load. When subjected to axial com...
