Personal statement

Dr Allazadeh received his BS/MSc degree in manufacturing technology from the University of Miskolc in Hungary, MSc degree in mechanical engineering from Brown University in the USA, and PhD in mechanical engineering and material science from the University of Pittsburgh in the USA. His past academic positions are teaching assistance and two post-doctorate contracts at the University of Pittsburgh, assistant professor at Wespreme University (Panonia), research fellow at Hungarian academy of sciences, and associate professor at Obudai University, successively.

His past industrial engineering job include working in General Electric, BayZoltan research institute collaborating with Alcoa Company, TechnoSoft, and ANSYS. He has promoted his carrier reputations by demonstrating his professional engineering works and aptitudes at his current position as manufacturing engineer in the forming team of the AFRC. He was granted CEng MIMechE chartered engineering status from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 2016.

The main line of his research interests has been studying the behaviour of materials (metallic, non-metallic, composites, and bio) and material properties’ modifications in response to applied external loads or internal stresses (e.g. thermal, mechanical, magnetic, radioactive, and biological) within given functional conditions and material working environment.

Projects

AFRC-DIRF-07085_ACCROFAB PO
Allazadeh, Mohammad (Principal Investigator) ElRakayby, Hosam (Principal Investigator)
27-Jan-2025 - 30-Jan-2025
AFRC-DIRF-07164-Tool development for SPF
Allazadeh, Mohammad (Principal Investigator) ElRakayby, Hosam (Principal Investigator)
Aerospace Cutting Tool Ltd designed an electrically actuated SPF press and various validation work will be required to validate it. The main objective of this project is to develop the surface tooling that fits in both presses to form a component that represents the customer’s requirements (features, radius, draft angle, depth, etc).
10-Jan-2025 - 08-Jan-2025
Finite Element Analysis of Pressing Process of Thick Stainless Steel Tray
Allazadeh, Mohammad (Research Co-investigator) Elsayed, Ahmed (Principal Investigator)
Finite element FE analysis was performed to investigate the feasibility of pressing a thick stainless-steel tray. The simulation results will provide information about the approach to form particular stainless steel tray and the optimal design needed to form such thick component.
02-Jan-2024 - 12-Jan-2024
Finite Element Analysis of Hydroforming Process
Elsayed, Ahmed (Principal Investigator) Allazadeh, Mohammad (Research Co-investigator)
Finite element (FE) analysis was performed to investigate the feasibility of hydroforming a thick stainless-steel tray. The simulation results will provide information about the approach to form special thick stainless steel tray and the optimal design needed to form such thick component.

Implementing hybrid aluminium forming to optimise circular economy in food industry
Allazadeh, Mohammad (Principal Investigator) Petrovski, Hannah (Researcher)
Single-use plastic water bottles are mainly made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is also a popular choice for a great many other products, such as bottles for hygiene products and tennis ball canisters. Even though using recycled materials could lead to some energy savings, almost all plastic bottles for water are currently made from virgin PET. Researchers were found that just US consumers purchased more than 33 billion litters of bottled water, or 110 litters (30 gallons) per person in 2007. The total energy required to produce 33 billion litters is equivalent to 32-54 million barrels of oil. In the UK 7.7 billion plastic water bottles are used each year, with the average person in the UK now using 150 plastic water bottles every year. Many are discarded and end up polluting our rivers and seas. It is possible to implement an advanced hybrid gas -press forming method to leverages benefits of gas forming and conventional manufacturing methods in forming sheet to produce complex shape containers and bottles.
