Fluid flows may be compressible either because flow velocities approach the speed of sound, or because variations in the concentration of a scalar vary the local density. Read more
Texture in materials plays a crucial role in metallic products. A thorough study of the underlying morphology and its evolution is relevant for producing cast parts of innovative technological products. Read more
The Earth is a complex system featuring variability on a vast range of spatial and temporal scales. One of its features is metastability, i.e. Read more
In the last decades, Mechanics of Materials as a discipline has experienced a type of revival. The main reason for this has been a continuing introduction of new materials (or even their classes) with extraordinary microstructures, properties and performance. Read more
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. Read more
In the recent years, the use of composite materials has demonstrated a continuing increase in aerospace, wind-energy, transportation, naval, defence and sports systems and products. Read more
Single crystal materials are extensively used in components ranging from the smallest (e.g. micro-lens, MEMS devices) to the largest sizes (e.g. Read more
The goal of this project is to develop a multiscale framework that incorporates continuum dislocation mechanics (CDM) with grain boundary mechanics to understand the interplay between dislocations and grain boundaries (GBs) in metallic alloys. Read more
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience supports exceptional graduates into exciting research projects that aid the sustainable growth of the offshore wind industry. Read more
Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more
