A novel approach to design lesion-specific stents for minimum recoil (2016)
Journal Article
Farhan Khan, M., Brackett, D., Ashcroft, I., Tuck, C., & Wildman, R. D. (in press). A novel approach to design lesion-specific stents for minimum recoil. Journal of Medical Devices, 11(1), Article 011001. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4034880

Stent geometries are obtained by topology optimization for minimized compliance under different stenosis levels and plaque material types. Three levels of stenosis by cross-sectional area, i.e., 30%, 40%, and 50% and three different plaque material p...

A combined inverse finite element – elastoplastic modelling method to simulate the size-effect in nanoindentation and characterise materials from the nano to micro-scale (2016)
Journal Article
Chen, X., Ashcroft, I., Wildman, R. D., & Tuck, C. (2017). A combined inverse finite element – elastoplastic modelling method to simulate the size-effect in nanoindentation and characterise materials from the nano to micro-scale. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 104-105, 25-34. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2016.11.004

Material properties such as hardness can be dependent on the size of the indentation load when that load is small, a phenomenon known as the indentation size effect (ISE). In this work an inverse finite element method (IFEM) is used to investigate th...

Surface microstructuring to modify wettability for 3D printing of nano-filled inks (2016)
Journal Article
Vafaei, S., Tuck, C., Ashcroft, I., & Wildman, R. D. (2016). Surface microstructuring to modify wettability for 3D printing of nano-filled inks. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 109, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2016.02.004

This paper investigates the effect of surface wettability on the cross-sectional profiles of printed nanofluid inks which can have a significant role on conductivity of printed lines that are used in the production of printed electronics. Glass subst... Read More about Surface microstructuring to modify wettability for 3D printing of nano-filled inks.

Shape complexity and process energy consumption in electron beam melting: a case of something for nothing in additive manufacturing? (2016)
Journal Article
Baumers, M., Tuck, C., Wildman, R. D., Ashcroft, I., & Hague, R. J. (in press). Shape complexity and process energy consumption in electron beam melting: a case of something for nothing in additive manufacturing?. Journal of Industrial Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.12397

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology is capable of building up component geometry in a layer-by-layer process, entirely without tools, molds, or dies. One advantage of the approach is that it is capable of efficiently creating complex product geome...

Quantification and characterisation of porosity in selectively laser melted Al–Si10–Mg using x-ray computed tomography (2016)
Journal Article
Maskery, I., Aboulkhair, N., Corfield, M., Tuck, C., Clare, A., Leach, R. K., …Hague, R. J. (2016). Quantification and characterisation of porosity in selectively laser melted Al–Si10–Mg using x-ray computed tomography. Materials Characterization, 111, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matchar.2015.12.001

We used X-ray computed tomography (CT), microscopy and hardness measurements to study Al–Si10–Mg produced by selective laser melting (SLM). Specimens were subject to a series of heat treatments including annealing and precipitation hardening. The spe...
