PhD in Design of Protection Systems through the use of Artificial Intelligence

Predicting the dynamic response of materials and structures to high ­energy ballistic impacts is a fundamental component of the development and design of fit-­for-­purpose armour and protection systems. Understanding the ballistic response of protection systems conventionally involves impacting these with a range of projectiles under various impact...

A major challenge for defence & security laser systems is managing the heat generated and differential thermal expansion of the different components in the system. A compounding challenge is the vast range of ambient temperatures in which these systems need to operate without thermal distortion. However, additive manufacturing gives the unique opportunity to...

Evaporating arrays of droplets have attracted a lot of attention for their potential applications in areas such as microfluidics and surface patterning. When many droplets evaporate near each other, in an array, their individual local environments begin to interact and change the evaporation rates of their neighboring droplets. This means that as the droplet...

Continuum mechanics approaches have been used to model the mechanical behaviour of biological (and active) systems at length scales that are large enough.For example, when analysed at the micron-scale, biological membranes can be treated as continuum objects that deform regulated by effective properties such as curvature mismatch or active forces. Those...
