Current Research

As AM technologies advance and printed electronics materials improve in their electrical and mechanical properties there is a requirement to print onto non-porous substrates. These substrates may vary in surface material, be non-planar in topography, or may generally require tight features that push inkjet resolution to its limits.

The project is targeted to leverage new modeling techniques to provide an "inverse design" digital object correction to compensate for the fluid dynamics of drops on non-porous structures. It is also expected to account for the topography of the printed structure and be able to model the effect of multiple layers built up on each other.

Past Research

Novel methods on Low cycle fatigue and analytical fracture mechanics for aircraft engines components.
