Numerical integration of area and volume integrals (also known as cubature) is a fundamental, but often overlooked, component of many computational techniques in continuum mechanics.
Conventional sheet metal forming processes involve high cost and lead times because of design and manufacturing of product specific tooling for new materials and parts.
Proportions of the energy dissipated during deformation of particulate materials are converted to heat and sound. The high-frequency (>10kHz) component of this sound energy is called acoustic emission (AE).
Understanding mechanical properties and performance of various biological materials and tissues and their responses to different loading and environmental conditions is becoming increasingly important for development of new medical procedures and devices.
co supervisor. Graeme Day. PhD Description. The computational simulation of chemical reactions in materials requires an accurate and explicit description of their electrons.
Bio-inspired structures draw their primary inspiration from the sheer fecundity of nature in the diversity of forms and their constant evolution in order to better adapt to their environment.
