Optimised additively-manufactured structural components for sustainable and resilient future infrastructure
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-GV. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join our research group as a PhD candidate in the field of metal additive manufacturing. Read more
Measuring the elastic properties of single-crystal and composite materials
The elastic properties of solids are vital to understanding many physical phenomena, from the propagation of phonons to the dynamics of phase transitions. Read more
Representing dissipative processes in discrete models of materials
Solid materials have internal structures that appear as discrete collections of entities at any observable length scale. The engineering scale (macroscopic) behaviour of a material emerges from the interaction and evolution of these structures. Read more
Development of experimental and simulation capability for the analysis of thrust air foil bearing systems, including thermal studies
Oil-free turbomachinery (OFT) is an emerging technology defined as high speed rotating machinery operating without oil lubrication, relying instead on “air foil” bearings (AFBs, also known as gas foil bearings or foil air bearings). OFT research is motivated by technological and environmental benefits for diverse applications e.g. Read more
