    Kirkwood, Leigh; Shehab, Essam; Baguley, Paul; Amorim-Melo, P.; Durazo-Cardenas, Isidro (Elsevier, 2014-10-31)
    Condition monitoring is an increasingly important activity, but there is often little thought given to how a condition monitoring approach is going to impact the cost of operating a system. This paper seeks to detail the ...
  • Characterisation of wear resistance of natural and synthetic diamond tools during single point diamond turning 
    Kirkwood, Leigh (Cranfield University, 2013-02)
    Achievable cutting distance of a diamond tool during turning is finite and is a limiting factor in the size of component that can be turned. This limit is particularly problematic when attempting to turn brittle materials, ...
