We have 63 Solid Mechanics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students
Digital Tool Chain For Defect Prediction And Optimisation In Thermoset Composites Lay Flat And Form
The project. This project will create new optimisation tools that can help the development of the manufacturing process of large-scale, high-value composite parts. Read more
Understanding high strain-rate deformation in multi-phase materials using a combined Eulerian phase-field and crystal plasticity approach
High strain-rate events in metallic structures often lead to complex fracture, as the shock wave propagates through the microstructure, and can result in the catastrophic failure of a component. Read more
Structural Health Monitoring Sensors for Extreme Environments
About the project. The University of Cincinnati has been developing a suite of ultrasonic sensors for structural health monitoring in extreme, typically high temperature (550°C+) environments. Read more
Developing methods for communicating confidence in computational models.
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. This multidisciplinary project aims to develop a framework for communicating outcomes of validation processes to non-specialist industry professionals and regulators. Read more
Early-stage detection and characterisation of hydrogen-induced defects using ultrasonic arrays for enhanced structural integrity assessment
The project. Motivation. The development of hydrogen energy technologies is central to the UK government's ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, targeting a 40% reduction in gas consumption by 2030 and carbon-zero emissions by 2050. Read more
Advancing Aluminium Extrusion for Side Sill Structures—Integration, Digitalisation, and Sustainable Innovations

Radiation effects on fatigue performance of high temperature steels
The aim of this PhD project is to assess the impact of local microstructure and radiation damage on the fatigue performance of advanced high-temperature fusion steels, potential candidates for the first wall and tritium breeder components. Read more
Transmutation effects on structural integrity in plasma-facing tungsten materials
Tungsten (W) is currently the frontrunner candidate as armour material for plasma-facing structural components in fusion tokamak technology. In particular, tungsten-based divertor components will experience high particle fluxes and steady-state heat loads ranging from ~8-20 MWm-2. Read more
Multiphysics data-driven validation framework for component qualification in fusion.
In a nuclear fusion reactor Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) are subjected to extreme environmental conditions which induce complex loads. Read more
Ultrabroadband solutions for intra data-centre comms
Supervisory Team. Prof Gilberto Brambilla, Dr Martynas Beresna. With the advent of machine learning and AI, more and more technologies are reliant on data centres, that already absorbs few % of the world generated power and it is forecasted to exceed 20% over the next decade. Read more
