🎓 Structural Mechanics PhDs

This PhD develops advanced numerical models to simulate large deformation behaviour of drag embedment anchors (DEAs) used for floating offshore wind turbines, focusing on installation, post-installation performance, and…

This fully-funded PhD focuses on the long-term durability of fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) in offshore wind turbine applications, combining experimental and computational approaches to predict degradation …

This fully-funded PhD focuses on numerical modelling of floating offshore wind moorings, exploring soil-structure interaction in variable seabed conditions. The research uses advanced computational techniques, including…

This PhD investigates the coupled aeroelastic and dynamic behaviour of deployable space structures, such as solar arrays and antennas, to understand and optimize deployment reliability, vibration modes, and operational …

This PhD project in collaboration with Network Rail focuses on developing next-generation finite element models for fatigue analysis of riveted railway bridges. The research aims to develop advanced calibrated numerical…
