This research integrates computational design and process modelling to investigate residual stress, distortion and fracture in additively manufactured ceramic and metal structures.
My research examines how manufacturing conditions and material behaviour influence the geometry and mechanical performance of fabricated structures. Computational predictions are assessed against experimental measurements to inform design and process choices.
Fellowship period: 2023–2026
The DECRA project investigates computational design approaches to defects in ceramic additive manufacturing, including residual stress, distortion and cracking. The aim is to support the manufacture of ceramic structures with improved reliability.
ARC project record ↗Collaborative work on 17–4 PH stainless steel combines multiscale modelling with a dual-cantilever calibration method. The calibrated inherent-strain model predicts part deformation and was assessed using manufactured specimens.
