This project aims to study and identify the beneficial effects of using bio-inspired geometry on aerofoils, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency and reducing the noise generated from non-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers. Read more
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of engineering research with a focus on sound and vibration? Would you like to develop… Read more
Explore the space where physics-based modelling and artificial intelligence meet. Join this project on ultrasonic non-destructive characterisation of complex materials. Read more
Closed cracks are challenging material defects where the two split faces touch, making them extremely difficult to detect. This project aspires to create new methods for ultrasonic imaging of complex cracks through experiments, modelling and advanced imaging development. Read more
Noise is a major environmental impact of civil aviation. Reducing aircraft noise is critical to the aeronautics industry and future air transport. Read more
Supervisory Team. Prof Alan McAlpine, Dr Jack Lawrence. Scattering of sound by turbulence occurs in civil aircraft turbofan engines as the sound generated by the fan or turbine propagates through the exhaust jet shear layers. Read more
The aim of this project is to develop virtual models to simulate and assess how humans perceive sound altered by acoustic metamaterials in different applications, such as noise treatments or in musical instruments, and develop an interactive web app that demonstrates the sound of acoustic metamaterials to the general public.
