Elastic wave propagation

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

We have built our world out of steel, concrete, and other stiff solids. How well these structures endure depends on the tension and strains they are under, which are closely related to the material’s elastic behaviour. Read more

Coupled heat transfer – stress – hydrogen diffusion modelling in cryogenic combustion systems for zero emission jet engines

King’s College London School of Natural & Mathematical Sciences

Transport, the UK’s biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions, presents a major obstacle to UK’s decarbonisation plans. To overcome it, we must develop new sustainable fuel technologies. Read more

Supervisors: Dr CS Skamniotis, Dr DM Moxey, Dr C Gattinoni

1 May 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
