We are a research group in The Materials Science Centre at Manchester University.
Our group concentrates on the investigation and prediction of the mechanical behaviour of materials and engineering components and the development of residual stresses and damage within these components.
As a group, we work closely together on a variety of projects, many funded by industrial partners, using a broad range of experimental techniques in the characterisation of stress, damage and mechanical performance of materials. Though much of our work is carried out in the Manchester Materials Science Centre, we make frequent use of resources provided by industrial partners and other academic institutions. Through these links with industry and academia and our work with actual engineering components and materials, we are able to provide a high quality standard of research which is of great benefit to the 'real world'.
The stress and damage characterisation group is formed from scientists and engineers with complementary areas of expertise ranging from materials scientists to electronic engineers and 3D visualisation experts. This leads to a large amount of variety and experience within our group although members regularly work on joint projects.
Much of the work done by the Stress and Damage Characterisation Group is industrially driven, often trying to find solutions to commercial problems. Thus, we work closely with many industrial partners who either contribute financially or with materials and facilities. The members of the SDC group gratefully acknowledge the support of the following companies and institutions
Accentus | Airbus | Bae Systems | British Energy | Corus | DTI | Electroimpact | EPSRC | ESRF | ILL | NATEC | NPL | QinetiQ | Rolls-Royce | The Royal Society | Serco Assurance | TWI
Also a large amount of work is carried out alongside other research institutions forming large-scale projects.
The University of Aarlen | The University of Birmingham | Imperial College | The University of Loughborough | The Open University | The University of Oxford | The University of Salford | The University of Sheffield | Tokyo Institute of Technology |
