Engineering projects awarded £13.6m by EPSRC
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 […]
Researchers look to simplify dynamic systems design
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 […]
Over £4 million to engineer a new generation of nonlinear dynamic design tools
UoB Press release issued 12 September 2012 The performance of engineering structures is controlled by how well they behave in their working environment. In many cases, such as wind or wave power generation, medical robotics, aerospace and large civil structures, nonlinear dynamic effects have a big influence on the operational performance. However, understanding and exploiting nonlinear […]
