Serviceability performance of plastically designed beam-column end-plate connections

Aberdeen University
School of Engineering

Dr P C Davidson, Dr A Bagheri Sabbagh

Applications accepted all year round

Modern methods of designing moment-resisting end-plate beam-column connections (for example [1]) make use of plastic redistribution concepts in defining the strength of the joint at the Ultimate Limit State.

PhD Studentship (Sponsored by Lloyds Register Foundation) - Development of methods to evaluate dynamic fracture toughness of metallic materials at very high loading rates under conditions of limited plastic deformation

National Structural Integrity Research Centre
Engineering

Dr Y Janin, Ms S Walker

Applications accepted all year round

Background. Many important industrial applications require that dynamic fracture toughness of materials is quantified and the accuracy of safety assessments depends on this material property.

Development of Smart Memory Alloy with Enhanced Structural Performance under fire (Advert Reference: SF18-2/MCE/GONZALEZ SANCHEZ)

Northumbria University
Faculty of Engineering and Environment

Dr S Gonzalez Sanchez, Dr K Poologanthan, Dr B Nagaratnam

Applications accepted all year round

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are special materials with a substantial potential for various structural engineering applications. The novelty of such materials lies in their ability to undergo large deformations and return to their un-deformed shape through stress removal or heating (shape-memory effect).

Resilient light steel framing structures for seismic prone areas

Aberdeen University
School of Engineering

Dr A Bagheri Sabbagh, Dr P Dunning

Applications accepted all year round

Conventional light steel framing systems are made of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections, producing relatively low local buckling resistance and low stiffness and strength in the joints of the frames.

Enhancing the performance, condition, safety and reliability of offshore wind energy infrastructure systems using optimal design, inspections, structural health monitoring and structural control

Aberdeen University
School of Engineering

Dr P Omenzetter, Dr P Dunning, Dr S Sriramula, Dr Amir Siddiq

Applications accepted all year round

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.
