Solving problems associated with bulk particle flow and wear for industry clients world-wide. Methodologies are the Discrete Element Method (DEM), Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), experiments and a good understanding of the underlying fundamentals. Presenting at international conferences and courses.

Australia

mineAlloy centre manager.

The mineAlloy ARC Training Centre operates out of Deakin University's Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) located in Geelong, Australia. The Centre represents a consortium of manufacturing companies who supply goods to the mining sector. The Centre research involves efficient alloy development, and selection, based on experimental and numerical.

Australia

Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM); simulation and experimental validation of particle flow and resulting wear, wear testing using different abrasive wear tests at room temperature up to 950 °C, wear analysis (laser profilometry, hardness etc), development of test rigs for wear testing and process optimisation for rapid alloy development.

Discrete Element Modelling (DEM), experimental wear testing, development of wear resistant macro scale composites, CAD work, metal composites

Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

Modelling and validation of the results of a Vertical Shaft Impactor (VSI) and a bin (several meters diameter).

Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR

Continuing research on the relationship between surface residual stress and hardness. An approximately linear relationship has been detected.

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Relationship between micro-hardness and residual stress state. The goal was to indirectly determine the surface residual stress of diesel injection pipes.

Xiamen, Fujian, China

Guided the local engineering team during the development of a new durability test bench for heavy forklifts. Implementation of more effective test procedures. CAD design and consultations with external suppliers.
