Generation and categorisation of surface texture data using a modified progressively growing adversarial network (2021)
Journal Article
As machine learning becomes more popular in the precision engineering sector, the need for large datasets of measurement data increases. Due to the often manual, user dependent and labour-intensive measurement processes, collecting a large amount of...

Surface measuring coherence scanning interferometry beyond the specular reflection limit (2021)
Journal Article
The capability of optical surface topography measurement methods for measurement of steep and tilted surfaces is investigated through modelling of a coherence scanning interferometer. Of particular interest is the effect on the interference signal an... Read More about Surface measuring coherence scanning interferometry beyond the specular reflection limit.
Development of a compact focus variation microscopy sensor for on-machine surface topography measurement (2021)
Journal Article
On-machine areal surface topography measuring instruments are required for fast and accurate measurement of parts inside production machines without reducing production rates. This paper presents the design and development of a compact focus variatio... Read More about Development of a compact focus variation microscopy sensor for on-machine surface topography measurement.
Low thermal expansion machine frame designs using lattice structures (2021)
Journal Article
In this work, we investigated tessellating cellular (or lattice) structures for use in a low thermal expansion machine frame. We proposed a concept for a lattice structure with tailorable effective coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The design i...

Finite element modelling of defects in additively manufactured strut-based lattice structures (2021)
Journal Article
Strut-based lattice structures produced by powder bed fusion are prone to characteristic manufacturing defects that alter both their form and surface texture. Most studies in the literature focus on a subset of commonly observed defects, typically ra...

Fourier optics modelling of coherence scanning interferometers (2021)
Conference Proceeding
We propose an instrument model for coherence scanning interferometry using familiar Fourier optics methods, the spectrum of plane waves, and the assumption that the light source spectral bandwidth is the dominant factor in determining fringe contrast...

Efficient empirical determination of maximum permissible error in coordinate metrology (2021)
Journal Article
Maximum permissible errors (MPEs) are an important measurement system specification and form the basis of periodic verification of a measurement system's performance. However, there is no standard methodology for determining MPEs, so when they are no... Read More about Efficient empirical determination of maximum permissible error in coordinate metrology.
Evaluating and propagating uncertainty in digital fringe projection systems (2021)
Journal Article
Fringe projection is a measurement technique able to produce high-density data measurements of Lambertian surfaces using a camera and projector. Evaluating the uncertainty of a fringe projection system is challenging because of the highdensity and th...

Automated assessment of measurement quality in optical coordinate metrology of complex freeform parts (2021)
Conference Proceeding
The measurement of complex freeform geometries represents a fundamental challenge for quality assurance in the production of high value-added parts, in particular when additive manufacturing technologies are involved. In addition, the increasing adva... Read More about Automated assessment of measurement quality in optical coordinate metrology of complex freeform parts.
Physics-based virtual coherence scanning interferometer for surface measurement (2021)
Journal Article
Virtual instruments provide task-specific uncertainty evaluation in surface and dimensional metrology. We demonstrate the first virtual coherence scanning interferometer that can accurately predict the results from measurements of surfaces with compl...

Analysis of the tribological interaction of a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined radial lip oil seal, shaft and lubricant sample (2021)
Journal Article
To investigate the tribological interaction and wear mechanisms of polytetrafluoroethylene-lined radial lip oil seals in service, a sleeve, seal and lubricant sample taken off a rotating rig are studied. The test was terminated at 72 h, after severe... Read More about Analysis of the tribological interaction of a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined radial lip oil seal, shaft and lubricant sample.
Evaluating the cytotoxicity of Ge–Sb–Se chalcogenide glass optical fibres on 3T3 mouse fibroblasts (2021)
Journal Article
In vivo cancer detection based on the mid-infrared molecular fingerprint of tissue is promising for the fast diagnosis and treatment of suspected cancer patients. Few materials are mid-infrared transmissive, even fewer, which can be converted into fu...

Characterisation of a multi-view fringe projection system based on the stereo matching of rectified phase maps (2021)
Journal Article
Multi-view fringe projection systems can be effective solutions to address the limitations imposed by the limited field of view, line-of-sight issues and occlusions when measuring the geometry of complex objects, associated with single camera-projec...

Statistical point cloud model to investigate measurement uncertainty in coordinate metrology (2021)
Journal Article
In this work an approach to investigate measurement uncertainty in coordinate metrology is presented, based on fitting Gaussian random fields to high-density point clouds produced by measurement repeats. The fitted field delivers a depiction of the s... Read More about Statistical point cloud model to investigate measurement uncertainty in coordinate metrology.
