Modelling slip bands and short crack growth in Ni-based superalloys using discrete crystal plasticity
In metal fatigue, microplastic strain localisation leads to the formation of discrete slip bands, which contribute to the initiation and propagation of short cracks. Read more
Numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems
Research Group:
School of Computing
This project aims to develop and implement parallel fluid-structure interaction algorithms including interfaced-fitted methods [1] and two-mesh methods [2], based upon FreeFem++ and PETSc, with application to modelling and simulation of aortic valve interacting with surrounding fluids and tissues; and large-scale simulation of biological swimmers (such as C.

Funded PhD Studentship on Robust and Efficient Machine Learning Algorithms
Overview. I am looking for a PhD student with an interest in the design of efficient and robust machine learning and data processing algorithms using tools from applied probability, signal processing and statistical mechanics. Read more
Reliable modelling of non-Newtonian sludge flows using novel computational fluid dynamics
The project is interdisciplinary in two dimensions because it brings together experiments and simulations as well as solid and fluid mechanics. The… Read more

Brain tissue mechanics: constitutive modeling of degeneration and dynamics
The aim of this project is to evaluate the mechanics of grey and white matter found in the brain during health & disease and effective methods by which to model disease mechanics and progression. Read more
PhD opportunities in Mathematics at Brunel University London
Are you ready to address problems of real biological or engineering importance? Or perhaps investigate the underlying mathematical and phenomenological processes of societal issues?. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Unraveling the mechanics of lateral gene transfer between grasses
The three main fundamental biological questions are. [1] How is this foreign DNA inserted into the genome of the recipient? Are the genes randomly inserted into the genome, or are there specific target sites that might hint at the mechanisms behind the transfers. Read more
Enhancing the performance, condition, safety and reliability of offshore wind energy infrastructure systems using optimal inspections and structural health monitoring
Wind turbines are exposed to frequent structural damage increasing the cost of wind energy generation. To drive these costs down, this project will develop new automated methods for detection of structural damage to wind turbines by examining vibration responses measured by sensors attached to the structure. Read more
Mathematical modelling of cavitation development for October 2023 entry
Background to the Project. Cavitation generation has been much of a mystery for more than a century. A core unresolved challenge is how bubble growth subject to acoustic forcing occurs over millions of cycles of oscillation, which cannot be simulated by any CFD packages. Read more
Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces
Droplet interactions with functional surfaces play a crucial role in many important physical processes, from preventing virus laden droplets passing through face masks to reducing the build-up of ice on the surfaces of flying aircraft. Read more
Computational Mechanics of Fracture on Advanced Composite Aerospace Structures
Over the last decade there has been a significant increase in the use of composite laminates in the aerospace industry in a drive to reduce weight and as a result to reduce emissions. Read more
Last chance to apply
Integrating machine learning and multiscale modelling for simulating fracture in materials with uncertainties
University of Warwick – School of Engineering. Qualification. Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering (PhD). Start date: 8th January 2024. Read more
Fundamental Electromagnetics: Foundational Theories of Electricity and Magnetism relating to Charged Particle Interactions
Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD. Charged particle dynamics (also known as charged particle optics) is concerned with the interactions of charged particles (e.g., electrons, protons, ions) within an electric and/or magnetic field. Read more
Mathematical modelling of dynamics of a cloud of microbubbles for October 2023 entry
Cavitation typically takes place in a cloud of a billion microbubbles, which usually take spherical shapes due to strong surface tension. Read more
