Career Summary
Biography
Michael Carr graduated from Newcastle University with honours, in 2015. He studied a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical). For his honours thesis, Dr Carr studied the production and technical specifications of the "Rail Conveyor" a new concept in overland conveyor technology. After graduating, Dr Carr undertook PhD studies on the "Identification, Characterisation and Modelling of Dynamic Adhesion for Optimised Transfer System Design". This thesis was submitted in April 2019 and targeted the problems in the materials handling stream associated with Wet and Sticky Materials (WSM). In addition to this, Dr Carr developed strategies and models to predict the thresholds where problematic behaviors caused by WSM could be mitigated.
Since completing his PhD in 2019, Dr Carr has continued to work as a Professional Officer with the University of Newcastle in the Discipline of Mechanical Engineering. This role involves overseeing and assisting in the design and construction of testing apparatus required for research projects and for Final Year Project (FYP) undergraduate students. In addition to this, Dr Carr is currently undertaking research into the efficiency and further development of the Rail Conveyor System. Alongside the professional officer activities, Dr Carr is also affiliated with TUNRA Bulk Solids (TBS) and the Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies (CBSPT).

This study aims at modelling the surface deformation of the convex pattern sample to investigate how effectively the sample reduces sliding wear. Archard wear model and a deformable geometry technique are combined to capture the sample deformation. A short-time laboratory wear experiment is performed as a benchmark to validate the numerical model. The simulation resutls indicate that there is a linear relation between the wear volume of a plain sample and the simulated revolutions, while the convex pattern sample has a quadratic trend. The wear distribution displays that the convex pattern accounts for the majority of wear of the sample. The contact behaviour demonstrates that the convex pattern facilitates the rolling of particles, resulting in the reduction of sliding distance. The numerical results indicate that the deformed convex pattern sample leads to lower overall sliding wear than a plain sample, although its effectiveness weakens as wear evolves.
