Anthony Sexton

Dr. Anthony Sexton is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering & Technology at UNSW Canberra, University of New South Wales. He is listed under Manufacturing Engineering within the school. Sexton teaches courses such as ZEIT8310 - Project Schedule and Budget Control and ZEIT3506 - Managing System Development, contributing to the education of students in engineering project management and systems development practices. His academic output focuses on experimental and numerical investigations into manufacturing processes, particularly those involving composites, fibre metal laminates, stretch forming, and resistance spot welding.

Sexton's peer-reviewed journal articles include 'Effect of electrode misalignment on the quality of resistance spot welds' (2023, Manufacturing Letters, with Doolan M), which analyzes electrode positioning impacts on weld integrity. In 2015, he co-authored 'Induced forming modes in a pre-consolidated woven polypropylene composite during stretch forming process at room temperature: I. Experimental studies' (Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, with Zanjani NA and Kalyanasundaram S). Additional publications are 'Investigation of the deformation behaviour of a thermoplastic fibre metal laminate' (2014, Materials Science Forum, with Cantwell W, Doolan M, and Kalyanasundaram S), 'Effect of process parameters during forming of self reinforced - PP based Fiber Metal Laminate' (2013, Composite Structures, with Kalyanasundaram S, DharMalingam S, and Venkatesan S), and 'Stretch forming studies on a fibre metal laminate based on a self-reinforcing polypropylene composite' (2012, Composite Structures, with Cantwell W and Kalyanasundaram S). His conference papers feature 'Stamp forming of polypropylene based polymer-metal laminates: The effect of process parameters on spring back' (2014, Advanced Materials Research, with Wang WT, Venkatesan S, and Kalyanasundaram S), 'Experimental and numerical characterisation of the out-of-plane stretch forming of a fibre metal laminate based on a self-reinforced polypropylene composite' (2012, 15th European Conference on Composite Materials), 'Experimental characterisation of the formability of a thermoplastic fibre metal laminate' (2012, 7th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics), 'Finite element simulation of the stretch forming of annealed aluminium sheets' (2012, 7th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics), and 'Numerical investigation of the effect of temperature on the formability of a thermoplastic fibre metal laminate' (2012, 7th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics). These works demonstrate his contributions to understanding formability, deformation, and process parameters in advanced materials manufacturing.
