Topics for Prospective Ph.D Students - View ALL topics for Dr. Yat Choy Wong
Mathematical Modelling of Complex MaterialsComplex materials will be modelled in terms of mesh structures that can then be subjected to virtual testing.
Magnetic compound fluid
Investigate the magnetic strength and polishing performance of magnetic compound fluid as in precision polishing such as tools and dies.
Surface Engineering- wear resistant coatings
Investigate the machining performance of a series of PVD coatings such as nanostructured TiN/NbN, TiN/ZrN, and TiN/CrN. PVD coatings will be prepared using reactive DC magnetron sputtering process and will be characterised using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffractometry and micro-hardness measurements.
Residual stress evaluation in steels
This project will involve the study of residual stress evaluation in steels. The student will use a modelling software to determine residual stress generated in steels as a function of key heat treatments.
Surface polishing using magnetic fluids
This project will involve both practical and theoretical aspects of studying the polishing performance using newly developed magnetic fluids.
Residual stress optimisation of pulsed laser deposited Stellite 6 coatings on mild steel
In this project a mathematical model of the pulsed laser cladding will be developed to optimise the process. These and several other modelling parameters will be trialled to evaluate the residual stress produced by laser cladding.
