Towards a process model of developing artistic practice within experimental music communities (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woods, P. J. (2020, June). Towards a process model of developing artistic practice within experimental music communities. Presented at International Conference of the Learning Sciences, Nashville, USA

Observation of EDM plasma behavior influenced by parasitic working gap capacitance (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Petersen, T., Ahmed, S., Kunieda, M., & Klink, A. (2020, June). Observation of EDM plasma behavior influenced by parasitic working gap capacitance. Presented at ISEM 2020 − 20th Cirp Conference on Electro Physical and Chemical Machining, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Machining large surfaces to good surface qualities is currently difficult, as optimisation of parameters does not always lead to a satisfactory outcome. This appears to be an issue with traditional EDM, and the cause is not understood very well. Obse...
