Development of Understanding of the effects of Laser Cladding on Novel Iron- Based Hardfacing Materials
Nuclear power plants are complex engineering structures with a multitude of different components required to make them operate. One area that rarely hits the headlines, but it fundamental to the operation of the plant, is tribological components such as valves and pumps. Read more
Microstructure, deformation and processing of new Co/Ni superalloys
A PhD studentship collaboratively with Rolls-Royce on the formation of fine grain size novel polycrystalline Co/Ni superalloys in jet engines. Read more
Characterisation of cast austenitic stainless steels using ultrasonic backscatter and artificial intelligence
Supervisory Team: M.K.Kalkowski and T.Blumensath. Project description. Do you enjoy numerical modelling? Are you interested in the application of artificial intelligence to engineering problems? If positive, this may be the right project for you. Read more
Material characterisation and residual stresses of 3D-printed steel structures
Successful 3D-printing of steel structures requires optimisation of the printing process which in this project consists of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Read more
Simulation for compression molding and mechanical properties of woven carbon fiber reinforced composites
Woven prepreg are commonly employed as raw materials for carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) composites. In compression molding, the prepreg will generate uneven deformation in the product which is determined by the localized strain. Read more
Formulation engineering of cake: MSc by Research with possible transfer to PhD
Structure development and stabilisation in cake is the result of complex interactions involving the formulation ingredients and thermo-mechanical processes of cake production. Read more
