One System, Worked End to End
Rather than presenting a thin catalogue, this page focuses on the published system in depth: ownership, domain coverage, results, artefacts, and the engineering process behind the design.
Hydraulic Radial Piston Motor Design and Optimisation
Theoretical multi-physics design of a radial piston motor — parametric CAD, FEA structural analysis, and a medium-fidelity transient simulation and optimisation engine checked against the 450 bar design condition.
Eight stages from definition to evidence
Requirements
Define the physical constraints, performance targets, and environmental boundaries of the system.
Modelling
Translate physical hardware into first-principles math—ODEs, state-spaces, and kinematic equations.
Simulation
Write high-performance code to solve the models under dynamic, transient conditions.
Optimisation
Apply algorithms (Bayesian, gradient-based) to search the parameter space for optimal performance.
Design
Generate parametric CAD and PCB layouts that reflect the mathematically optimised geometry.
Verification
Cross-check simulation outputs against analytical benchmarks and physical limits.
Implementation
Write structured embedded firmware and prepare mechanical assemblies for fabrication.
Documentation
Archive the math, code, and CAD so the design rationale isn't lost.
