Development of resilient batteries : 3D tomography of electrode cracking mechanisms, and methods for mitigation
This EPSRC studentship is an exciting opportunity to work with the NanoLAB group at The University of Sheffield, the Faraday Institution FutureCAT project and industrial partners to determine the evolution/degradation of batteries in 3D using advanced tomographic methodologies. Read more
Numerical modelling of cracked engineering materials under dynamic loading
It is common knowledge that all existing structural materials contain various inter- and intra-component cracks and crack-like defects which appear in materials during fabrication or in-service. Read more
Automated Solar Cells Crack Detection using AI techniques
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
The accurate detection and quantification of cracks and defects in structures such as solar cells are essential to allow owners and operators of these high-value assets to understand and quantify their condition. Read more
(CDT Advanced Metallic Systems) A Digital Twin of abnormally coarse grain structures in critical titanium forgings for military aircraft applications
Research Group:
Advanced Metallic Systems CDT
This project is based at the University of Manchester and is sponsored by DSTL and seeks candidates with a 2.1 or 1st class degree in a STEM discipline, particularly Applied Mathematics, Materials Science, Physics or Mechanical Engineering with an interest in computational modelling. Read more
Investigation of white etching crack damage mechanism in wind turbine gearbox bearings
Modern wind turbine gearbox bearings are failing prematurely, by white structure flaking and axial cracking, which may be caused by the propagation of subsurface white etching cracks (WECs). Read more

Modelling of Compressive Transverse Cracking on Composite Laminates
In analyses of failure in composite laminates, extended finite element analyses using Abaqus (or Ansys) might prove convenient for the prediction of transversal cracks on composite laminates subjected to compression. Read more
Multi-Scale Modelling of the Fatigue and Fracture of Aerospace Alloys
The drive for greater fuel efficiency is making the production of lightweight structures with adequate strength and endurance a primary concern for the aerospace industry. Read more
Distinct Element Modelling of masonry structures
A large number of residential and historical structures in the UK and around the world are made of masonry. Due to the low tensile strength and brittle response of these materials, as well as their deterioration (due to aging), masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards.
