Development of a Metal Selector System (2006)
Journal Article
Wang, Q., & Scott, A. (2006). Development of a Metal Selector System. International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 32(9-10), 843-855. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00170-005-0401-6

There are an increasing number of different material types currently available for a number of industrial applications. A designer must not only have the ability to decide upon a suitable material for a specific product but also be able to optimise t... Read More about Development of a Metal Selector System.

Foundations of an Agile Design Methodology (2006)
Journal Article
Matthews, P., Lomas, C., Armoutis, N., & Maropoulos, P. (2006). Foundations of an Agile Design Methodology. International journal of agile manufacturing, 9(1), 29-38

Modern design projects typically are undertaken concurrently in a virtual enterprise network of expert design and manufacturing agents. The general need for agile response in turbulent environments is well documented and has been analysed at the manu... Read More about Foundations of an Agile Design Methodology.

Implementing the Information Pump using Accessible Technology (2006)
Journal Article
Matthews, P., & Chesters, P. (2006). Implementing the Information Pump using Accessible Technology. Journal of Engineering Design, 17(6), 563-585. https://doi.org/10.1080/09544820600646629

The Information Pump (IP) is a method for extracting high quality subjective product information from a small group of subjects. The method is based around a game environment where the subjects are awarded points for the information they supply. This...

Compliant layer acetabular cups: friction testing of a range of materials and designs for a new generation of prosthesis which mimics the natural joint (2006)
Journal Article
Scholes, S., Burgess, I., Marsden, H., Unsworth, A., Jones, E., & Smith, N. (2006). Compliant layer acetabular cups: friction testing of a range of materials and designs for a new generation of prosthesis which mimics the natural joint. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 220(5), 583-596. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544119h06404

Total joint replacements (TJRs) have a limited lifetime, but the introduction of components that exhibit good lubricating properties with low friction and low wear could extend the life of TJRs. A novel acetabular cup design using polyurethane (PU) a...

Interaction of impulse immersed fluid jet with barrier (2006)
Journal Article
Veremieiev, S., & Semko, A. (2008). Interaction of impulse immersed fluid jet with barrier. Прикладна гідромеханіка. Prikladna gìdromehanìka, 10(1), 3-9

The interaction of the impact flooded jet with tough wall was investigated numerically. Distributions of the velocities and pressure were obtained for normal, model ultra viscosity and low viscosity fluid for different distances to the wall. The fric...

An element-based displacement preconditioner for linear elasticity problems (2006)
Journal Article
Augarde, C., Ramage, A., & Staudacher, J. (2006). An element-based displacement preconditioner for linear elasticity problems. Computers and Structures, 84(31-32), 2306-2315. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruc.2006.08.057

Finite element analysis of problems in structural and geotechnical engineering results in linear systems where the unknowns are displacements and rotations at nodes. Although the solution of these systems can be carried out using either direct or ite... Read More about An element-based displacement preconditioner for linear elasticity problems.
