The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feng, X., Lawes, S., & Kinnell, P. K. The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips. Presented at 15th International Conference of the European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology

Contamination adhered to the surface of a µCMM stylus tip significantly impairs the dimensional accuracy of the CMM systems, potentially causing dimensional errors that are over ten times larger than the uncertainty of a modern µCMM. To reduce such e... Read More about The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips.

Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brown, L. P., Yan, S., Zeng, X., & Long, A. C. Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms. Presented at 12th International Conference on Textile Composites

Manipulation of the through-thickness yarn path enables 3D woven reinforcement to separate locally in the form of a bifurcation, creating net-shaped preforms for T- and I-beams. Preforming introduces fibre architecture deformation at the 3D woven bif... Read More about Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms.
