Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, M., Palmer, D., Dong, X., Alatorre, D., Axinte, D., & Norton, A. (2018, October). Design and Development of a Slender Dual-Structure Continuum Robot for In-Situ Aeroengine Repair. Presented at 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Madrid, Spain

© 2018 IEEE. In-situ aeroengine maintenance works (e.g. inspection, repair) are highly beneficial as it can significantly reduce currently accepted maintenance cycle which is extensive and costly due to the need to remove engines from the wing of an...

Design and stiffness analysis of A class of 2-DoF tendon driven parallel kinematic mechanism (2018)
Journal Article
Ma, N., Yu, J., Dong, X., & Axinte, D. (2018). Design and stiffness analysis of A class of 2-DoF tendon driven parallel kinematic mechanism. Mechanism and Machine Theory, 129, 202-217. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2018.07.023

2-DoF Rotational mechanism is increasingly utilized in a large range of industrial applications. However, the structures of most of the existing mechanisms are very complex, which is a significant challenge for building them, due to the tight tolera...

On the inverse design of discontinuous abrasive surface to lower friction-induced temperature in grinding: an example of engineered abrasive tools (2018)
Journal Article
Li, H. N., & Axinte, D. (2018). On the inverse design of discontinuous abrasive surface to lower friction-induced temperature in grinding: an example of engineered abrasive tools. International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 132, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2018.04.006

In order to lower temperature, abrasive tools with passive-grinding, e.g. textured, areas (PGA) have been suggested. However, most of the reported PGA geometries (e.g. slots, holes) have been determined based on the engineering intuition (i.e. trial...
