Current Funded Research Projects
Life-like Resilient Materials for Mitigating Liquid-Solid Impact Damage (LSIMPACT) Start: 01-04-2024 / End: 31-03-2029 Amount: £1,270,404 Life-like Resilient Materials for Mitigating Liquid-Solid Impact Damage (LSIMPACT) |
CELLCOMP: Data-driven Mechanistic Modelling of Scalable Cellular Composites for Crash Energy Absorption Start: 01-01-2022 / End: 10-04-2025 Amount: £392,388 The project funded by EPSRC will create an intelligent data-driven virtual testing tool to assess an emerging type of lightweight materials, known as synthetic cellular composites (CCs). |
Decoding the Material Degradation Mechanisms Under High-velocity Liquid-solid Impact Loadings Start: 31-03-2023 / End: 30-03-2025 Amount: £70,000 This project aims to develop new impact test facilities to unveil the Liquid-solid impact (LSI) damage mechanisms. The specific objectives are (1) To develop new impact systems for measuring LSI behaviours of materials. (2) To reveal the role of heterogeneity, environment and loading conditions on LSI mechanisms. |
