Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Blast Load Estimation from Structural Response (S3.5-MAC-Curry)
The loading and resulting deformation resulting from explosive detonations has wide-reaching effects on different people ranging from civilian populations in conflict areas to instances where accidents result in damage. Read more
Manufacturing process simulation for high-performance discontinuous fibre composites (C3.5-MAC-Qian)
Project details. There has been growing interest in applications of compression moulded high-performance discontinuous fibre composites (DFCs) across many industries such as automotive, aerospace and space. Read more
Development of Automated Robotic W Machining for In-Vessel Component Repair in Fusion (C3.5-MAC-Ghadbeigi)
W (Tungsten) is expected to be used extensively within fusion reactors for in-vessel, plasma-facing, armour components due to favourable material properties such as a high melting point, low sputtering, and low Tritium uptake. Read more
Mathematical models of contact mechanics
The project. This project aims to resolve the computational difficulties that arise in Finite Element modelling of mechanical structures involving joints and surfaces that impact or slip against each other. Read more
Modelling, simulations and machine learning of the dynamics of human swallowing
The project. A normal swallow is an impressively complex sequence of movements, requiring the coordination of muscles located within the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and oesophagus. Read more
Physics-informed machine learning
The project. Many modern machine-learning architectures require significant amounts of data for training and validation. In the physical sciences, experimental data is often sparse and hence machine learning models must be supplemented by constraints that go beyond observational data alone. Read more
Modelling and experiments of drying-driven gelation of colloidal fluids
The project. Colloidal fluids are liquids that contain solid particles. The drying of colloidal fluids is crucial to countless industrial processes, such as ink-jet printing, pesticide spraying, and the fabrication of battery electrodes. Read more
ML-enhanced multi-scale modelling of hydrogels
The project. Hydrogels are soft, fluid-filled solids. Many hydrogels can change their size and shape in response to their environment. Read more
Fast Identification of Deformation Mechanisms from HRDIC data using Machine Learning
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. In fusion reactors, the plasma facing components are subject to extreme temperatures, loads and radiation damage during operation. Read more
Development of novel model to predict the lifespan of metallic components for application in hydrogen-powered engines/generators (RDF25/EE/MCE/ZHANG)
Hydrogen is an important renewable fuel owing to its high energy content and no carbon dioxide emission [1], which can significantly contribute to the UK Governments ‘2050 net-zero target’, if it is widely utilised in engines/generators. Read more
Tailoring 3D Graphene Materials for Next Generation Supercapacitors (RDF25/EE/MCE/HO)
The development of renewable energy has made significant progress in recent years. Read more
Techniques of improvement of fracture toughness in composites and development of multi-scale computational models for the simulation of the crack propagation and prediction of the residual strength
PhD Supervisor: Gennaro Scarselli. Project description. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are popular in engineering applications due to their excellent structural performance and relatively low weight. Read more
Modelling the biomechanical networks of the lung in heath and disease
We are looking for an exceptional student to take on an exciting interdisciplinary project at the interface of biomechanical modelling and respiratory medicine. Read more
