Available projects

  • Understanding and preventing dental crown failures

    This reserch project aims to develop computational models for dental crown failures. The modelling outcomes will enable dentists to customise the design of ceramic restorations and maximise their fatigue lifespan under repititive chewing loads. Improving the reliability of dental restorations is necessary to reduce the burden of tooth decay on public health. The research is part of a larger multidisciplinary project and the candidate will have access to cutting edge facilities to develop realistic computational models.

  • Investigation of Railway Studs and Squats

    The research seeks to develop a generalised validated mathematical model for rail studs, and in particular to examine how this mechanism differs from that for rail squats. Railway studs and squats are track defects that grow via dynamic loading over successive train wheel passages. The model would be used to predict growth of studs and to evaluate and determine optimum railway vehicle and track conditions to mitigate this rail defect. An extensive experimental and field study would be used to validate the results.
