Magnetorheological brushes – Scarcely explored class of magnetic material (2023)
Journal Article
Bastola, A. K., Gannavarapu, M., Parry, L. A., & Shrestha, M. (2023). Magnetorheological brushes – Scarcely explored class of magnetic material. Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 572, Article 170603. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2023.170603

Magnetic materials such as magnetorheological (MR) fluids, and magnetorheological elastomers exhibit a broad change in their material properties, for example, viscosity and storage modulus in the presence of a magnetic field. Studies related to such... Read More about Magnetorheological brushes – Scarcely explored class of magnetic material.

FLatt Pack: A research-focussed lattice design program (2021)
Journal Article
Maskery, I., Parry, L. A., Padrão, D., Hague, R., & Ashcroft, I. A. (2022). FLatt Pack: A research-focussed lattice design program. Additive Manufacturing, 49, Article 102510. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2021.102510

Lattice structures are an important aspect of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). They enable significant component light-weighting and the tailoring of a wide range of physical responses; mechanical, thermal, acoustic, etc. In turn, lattice de...

Targeted rework strategies for powder bed additive manufacture (2017)
Journal Article
Hirsch, M., Dryburgh, P., Catchpole-Smith, S., Patel, R., Parry, L., Sharples, S., …Clare, A. (2018). Targeted rework strategies for powder bed additive manufacture. Additive Manufacturing, 19, 127-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2017.11.011

A major factor limiting the adoption of powder-bed-fusion additive manufacturing for production of parts is the control of build process defects and the effect these have upon the certification of parts for structural applications. In response to thi... Read More about Targeted rework strategies for powder bed additive manufacture.

Fractal scan strategies for selective laser melting of ‘unweldable’ nickel superalloys (2017)
Journal Article
