Final Year Project - Design and Optimisation of a Novel Hollow Auxetic Structure

Individual project focusing on designing a novel hollow auxetic structure, optimising it using a finite element analysis simulations and a statistical approach and then mechanically testing 3D printed versions for mechanical testing and comparison to the simulation results. An auxetic structure is o...

Aero Engine Speed Reducer

Aero Engine Speed Reducer

To design a gearbox to reduce the speed of an output shaft for a power take off unit. The project required all shaft, gear and bearing calculations to be carefully considered and designed around constraints such as cost, noise and external loads. The gearbox was modelled on CAD and a manufacturing p...
