Journal Article
Yang, Y., Billingham, J., Axinte, D., & Liao, Z. (2023). A rational approach to beam path planning in additive manufacturing: the inverse heat placement problem. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 479(2270), Article 20220386. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2022.0386

High demand for components with complex geometries at macro and micro levels drives the development of additive manufacturing (AM). However, the scientific basis for designing energy beam scanning strategies (e.g. beam scanning speed, beam path, beam...

On modelling coolant penetration into the microchannels at the tool-workpiece interface (2022)
Journal Article
Wei, W., Robles-Linares, J. A., Liao, Z., Wang, Z., Luna, G. G., Billingham, J., & Axinte, D. (2022). On modelling coolant penetration into the microchannels at the tool-workpiece interface. Journal of Manufacturing Processes, 84, 43-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2022.09.044

A network of microchannels is formed at the interface between the cutting tool and the workpiece during machining due to their rough surface structures. The penetration of coolant into these microchannels has a great effect on the machined surface qu...

On modelling of laser assisted machining: forward and inverse problems for heat placement control (2018)
Journal Article
Shang, Z., Liao, Z., Sarasua, J. A., Billingham, J., & Axinte, D. (2019). On modelling of laser assisted machining: forward and inverse problems for heat placement control. International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 138, 36-50. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2018.12.001

Laser assisted machining (LAM) is one of the most efficient ways to improve the machinability of difficult-to-cut materials (e.g. Nickel-based superalloys). In the conventional LAM process, the laser beam is focused ahead of the cutting area at a fix...
