Digital twin based photogrammetry field-of-view evaluation and 3D layout optimisation for reconfigurable manufacturing systems (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Wang, L., Martínez-Arellano, G., Griffin, J., Sanderson, D., & Ratchev, S. (2024). Digital twin based photogrammetry field-of-view evaluation and 3D layout optimisation for reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Journal of Manufacturing Systems, 77, 1045-1061. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmsy.2024.11.001

Photogrammetry is extensively used in manufacturing processes due to its non-contact nature and rapid data acquisition. Positioning photogrammetry cameras requires knowledge of the manufacturing process and time in manual field-of-view (FoV) adjustme...

A Low-Cost Automated Fastener Painting Method Based on Machine Vision (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhao, R., Drouot, A., Griffin, J., Crossley, R., & Ratchev, S. (2018, January). A Low-Cost Automated Fastener Painting Method Based on Machine Vision. Presented at 8th IFIP WG 5.5 International Precision Assembly Seminar, IPAS 2018, Chamonix, France

Fastener painting of aerospace structures, in particular legacy products , relies heavily on the skill or rather craftsmanship of the human operator. This process is time-consuming while automated operations with industrial robots can be a more effic... Read More about A Low-Cost Automated Fastener Painting Method Based on Machine Vision.

Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations (2017)
Journal Article
Griffin, J., & Popov, A. (in press). Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations. Vehicle System Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2017.1296962

It is now possible, through electrical, hydraulic or mechanical means, to power the front wheel of a motorcycle. The aim of this is often to improve performance in limit-handling scenarios including off-road low-traction conditions and on-road high-s...
