Characterization of shape and dimensional accuracy of incrementally formed titanium sheet parts (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Behera, A. K., Lu, B., & Ou, H. (2015). Characterization of shape and dimensional accuracy of incrementally formed titanium sheet parts.

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a relatively new process that has been recently used to manufacture medical grade titanium sheets for implant devices. However, one limitation of the SPIF process may be characterized by dimensional inaccura...

Fibre architecture design of 3D woven composite with genetic algorithms: a unit cell based optimisation framework and performance assessment (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Zeng, X., Long, A. C., Ashcroft, I., & Potluri, P. (2015). Fibre architecture design of 3D woven composite with genetic algorithms: a unit cell based optimisation framework and performance assessment.

There are vast possibilities in fibre architecture design of 3D woven reinforcement. This paper considers the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) in 3D woven composites optimisation. A set of real and integral variables, representing 3D fibre archi...

The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Feng, X., Lawes, S., & Kinnell, P. K. (2015). The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips.

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)
Conference Proceeding
Brown, L. P., Yan, S., Zeng, X., & Long, A. C. (2015). Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms.

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.

Evaluation of the capabilities and damage risk of cleaning methods for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Feng, X., Lawes, S., & Kinnell, P. K. (2015). Evaluation of the capabilities and damage risk of cleaning methods for micro-CMM stylus tips.

The dimensional accuracy of a micro-CMM is significantly affected by contamination adhered to the stylus tip during use. Contaminant particles can cause dimensional errors that are orders of magnitude greater than those reported in the literature. To...
