This project will combine dislocation theory, microstructure modelling and finite element analysis to predict crack nucleation and growth in rail steels. Modelling will be matched with advanced charactersiation. Both rolling contact fatigue and wear conditions will be studied.
This project will adopt successfully used approaches for alloy design developed by the supervisory team. Artificial intelligence approaches will be combined with thermodynamic modelling and characterisation across the scales to conceive printable superalloys of improved properties.
This project is dedicated to the creation of a comprehensive numerical framework, with the primary objective of comprehending and simulating unsteady boundary layers on dynamic geometries.
Working with the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), this project will develop new in-situ systems for contaminant and risk management at nuclear (and other) sites, based on novel electrokinetic approaches developed at the University of Southampton.
