Capturing, classification and concept generation for automated maintenance tasks

Farnsworth, Michael; Tomiyama, Tetsuo (Elsevier, 2014-04-24)

Maintenance is an efficient and cost effective way to keep the function of the product available during the product lifecycle. Automating maintenance may drive down costs and improve performance time; however capturing the ...
Designing an AR interface to improve trust in Human-Robots collaboration

Palmarini, Riccardo; Fernández del Amo, Iñigo; Bertolino, Guglielmo; Dini, Gino; Erkoyuncu, John Ahmet; Roy, Rajkumar; Farnsworth, Michael (Elsevier, 2018-05-21)

In a global, e-commerce marketplace, product customisation is driven towards manufacturing flexibility. Conventional caged robots are designed for high volume and low mix production cannot always comply with the increasing ...
Modelling, simulation and optimisation of a piezoelectric energy harvester

Farnsworth, Michael; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Dorey, Robert A. (Elsevier, 2014-10-31)

The power generation efficiency of piezoelectric energy harvesters is dependent on the coupling of their resonant frequency with that of the source vibration. The mechanical design of the energy harvester plays an important ...
Multi-level and multi-objective design optimisation of a MEMS bandpass filter

Farnsworth, Michael; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Meiling, Zhu (Elsevier, 2016-10-11)

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) design is often complex, containing multiple disciplines but also conflicting objectives. Designers are often faced with the problem of balancing what objectives to focus upon and how ...
Multi-level and multidisciplinary optimisation of microelectromechanical systems

Farnsworth, Michael (Cranfield University, 2012-10)

A comparative investigation into the role multi-level and multidisciplinary design optimisation can play in the automated design synthesis of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is presented. Microelectromechanical ...
A multi-objective and multidisciplinary optimisation algorithm for microelectromechanical systems

Farnsworth, Michael; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Zhu, Meiling; Benkhelifa, Elhadj (2017-09-14)

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are a highly multidisciplinary field and this has large implications on their applications and design. Designers are often faced with the task of balancing the modelling, simulation ...
New threats for old manufacturing problems: Secure IoT-enabled monitoring of legacy production machinery

Tedeschi, Stefano; Emmanouilidis, Christos; Farnsworth, Michael; Mehnen, Jorn; Roy, Rajkumar (Springer, 2017-08-31)

The digitization of manufacturing through the introduction of Industrie 4.0 technologies creates additional business opportunities and technical challenges. The integration of such technologies on legacy production machinery ...
A novel approach for No Fault Found decision-making

Khan, Samir; Farnsworth, Michael; Erkoyuncu, John Ahmet (Elsevier, 2016-06-20)

Within aerospace and defence sectors, organisations are adding value to their core corporate offerings through services. These services tend to emphasise the potential to maintain future revenue streams and improved ...
On the requirements of digital twin-driven autonomous maintenance

Khan, Samir; Farnsworth, Michael; McWilliam, Richard; Erkoyuncu, John Ahmet (Elsevier, 2020-09-10)

Autonomy has become a focal point for research and development in many industries. Whilst this was traditionally achieved by modelling self-engineering behaviours at the component-level, efforts are now being focused on ...
A review of optimisation techniques used in the composite recycling area: state-of-the-art and steps towards a research agenda

Liu, Ying; Farnsworth, Michael; Tiwari, Ashutosh (Elsevier, 2016-08-11)

The increased use of carbon fibre and glass fibre reinforced polymer in industry coupled with restrictions on landfill disposal has resulted in a need to develop effective recycling technologies for composites. Currently, ...
Self-repairing design process applied to a 4-bar linkage mechanism

Bell, Colin; Farnsworth, Michael; Knowles, James; Tiwari, Ashutosh (SAGE, 2015-08-22)

Despite significant advances in modelling and design, mechanical systems almost inevitably fail at some point during their operative life. This can be due to a pre-existing design flaw, which is usually overcome in a ...
Theoretical design of a self-rectifying 4-bar linkage mechanism

Bell, Colin; Farnsworth, Michael; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Dorey, Robert A. (Elsevier, 2013-09-27)

Mechanical systems will almost inevitably fail at some point during operation. This can either be due to a preexisting design flaw or some unexpected damage during usage. No matter how much planning and fault analysis is ...
