A new flexible multi-point incremental sheet forming process with multi-layer sheets (2023)
Journal Article
Zhao, X., & Ou, H. (2023). A new flexible multi-point incremental sheet forming process with multi-layer sheets. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 322, Article 118214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2023.118214

In this research, a new flexible multi-point incremental sheet forming process with multi-layer sheets (F-MPIF-MLS) was proposed. The novelty of this new forming process is demonstrated by two specific aspects of contribution. The first is the develo...

Monitoring the Different Stages of Industrial Cleaning using Ultrasonic Sensors (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Watson, N. J., Escrig Escrig, J., Woolley, E., Rangappa, S., & Simeone, A. (2019, May). Monitoring the Different Stages of Industrial Cleaning using Ultrasonic Sensors. Paper presented at 7th International Symposium on Sensor Science, Naples, Italy

Clean-in-Place (CIP) technologies use a combination of time, temperature, chemicals and mechanical force (caused by flowing water) to clean processing equipment in the food and drink, pharmaceutical and fast moving consumer goods sectors. One of the... Read More about Monitoring the Different Stages of Industrial Cleaning using Ultrasonic Sensors.

Deployment of a distributed multi-agent architecture for transformable assembly (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. (2018). Deployment of a distributed multi-agent architecture for transformable assembly. In Precision assembly in the digital age (15-28). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05931-6_2

Industry 4.0 represents a new philosophy in manufacturing systems, based on networked, intelligent, and cooperative resources. This revolution is necessary to make the cost-effective production of batch-size-of-one customised items in high-value manu...

Electrolyte multiplexing in electrochemical jet processing (2018)
Journal Article
Mitchell-Smith, J., Speidel, A., Bisterov, I., & Clare, A. T. (2018). Electrolyte multiplexing in electrochemical jet processing. Procedia CIRP, 68, (483-487). doi:10.1016/j.procir.2017.12.088. ISSN 2212-8271

Electrolyte design for electrochemical jet processing (EJP) techniques can directly affect form and finish of machined structures. A newly developed, industrially focused, EJP machining centre was designed to incorporate complete control of all rele... Read More about Electrolyte multiplexing in electrochemical jet processing.
