Pete Green of the University of Sheffield hosted a Bayesian Workshop supported by the Engineering Nonlinearity (ENL) Programme Grant on 19th February 2014 at Kenwood Hall in the leafy environs of Nether Edge, Sheffield. There was a good attendance from the Project’s University and Industrial Partners; also guests and speakers from the Universities of Liverpool […]
The Engineering Nonlinearity Half-Yearly meeting took place at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton on 7th and 8th January. The first full week of the New Year saw nearly 50 attendees gathering to discuss progress thus far and future plans on this EPSRC-sponsored Programme Grant, which runs from September 2012 […]
A technical workshop on “harsh nonlinearity” was hosted at the HQ of Romax Technology in Nottingham on 20 November 2013. The event was attended by both academic and industrial partners working on harsh nonlinear problems mainly focused on the topics of impact and friction combined with vibrating components. Applications included gearboxes and turbines. The workshop […]
October 2013 saw a workshop taking place at Engineers House in Bristol involving problem solving by deconstruction and creative re-invention of subjects close the heart of the Engineering Nonlinearity (ENL) project, such as: What is Harsh Nonlinearity? Conferences Technical Demonstrators Facilitated by Dennis Sherwood of the Silver Bullet Machine Manufacturing Company under the auspices of […]

The Engineer – 13 September 2012 Three engineering research projects have been awarded grants totalling £13.6m to help solve major problems facing the UK. The research, funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), will investigate re-using carbon, the fundamental design of major infrastructure constructs, and the way in which the complex behaviour of […]
The Engineer – 13 September 2012 | By Stuart Nathan A research project based at Bristol University aims to overcome some of the difficulties of designing dynamic systems, and could allow engineers to build more efficient wind turbines, safer buildings and even better microscopes. The five-year project has received £4.2m funding from the EPSRC. The current problem, explained […]
