MD Lab research on material-extrusion accuracy follows two complementary routes. One determines whether printed holes and shafts will assemble as intended through ISO-GPS coordinate metrology. The other determines printer performance through a compact self-assessment benchmark that turns cylinder form error into an accessible displacement measurement.
MD-Lab research on fluid-borne noise examines compact passive attenuation of pressure pulsations in hydraulic and pipe systems. The work extends the classical Herschel-Quincke interference silencer by introducing modulated branch properties, creating a tunable route to additional and broader transmission-loss bands without relying on impractically long side branches.
MD Lab research on active bearings investigates a hydraulically actuated monolithic journal bearing that can change its inner geometry during operation. The concept uses controlled pocket pressure to transform a nominally cylindrical bearing surface into a three-wave profile, enabling real-time adjustment of lubricant-film stiffness, damping and vibration transmission in rotating machinery.
MD Lab research on design for upcycling investigates how retired mechanical equipment can be converted into high-value, polyfunctional laboratory test rigs. The work combines circular-economy principles with detailed mechanical design, finite element assessment, remanufacturing and modern instrumentation to reduce cost, material demand and development time without compromising experimental capability.
