BBSRC NWD CASE: Selective breeding, morphological and functional disparity in domestic dogs: implications for welfare and veterinary healthcare technologies
Background & Rationale. Selective breeding by humans has made the domestic dog the most morphologically diverse species that has ever existed. Read more
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
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
