Manufacturing and Materials Processing
We model manufacturing processes to make them more predictable and easier to transfer to industry. Our work combines dimensional analysis, constitutive modelling and experiments, with a focus on aeronautical components and light alloys.
Topics
- Superplastic forming and the characterisation of superplastic materials
- Dimensional analysis of forming processes
- Machining of thin-walled light-alloy parts
