University of Sheffield: Showcasing student work at the Information Commons - Materials Selection and Fracture Mechanics
An exhibition on Level 1 in the Information Commons highlighted artefacts and posters from the Materials Selection and Fracture Mechanics module. The Materials Science display was available throughout ...
Showcasing student work at the Information Commons - Materials Selection and Fracture Mechanics
The field of crack mechanics in piezoelectric and magnetoelectroelastic materials is at the forefront of research into the durability and performance of multifunctional materials, which integrate ...
Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...
Piezoelectric quasicrystals represent a unique class of materials that combine the aperiodic long‐range order of quasicrystals with the electromechanical coupling inherent to piezoelectric materials.
Fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis remain central to understanding and predicting material failure in metallic systems. These disciplines focus on characterising the initiation and propagation of ...
We are an experimental characterization group with unique capabilities to understand the damage and fracture of advanced materials under extreme conditions over multiple length-scales. Composite ...
Heat and pressure can deteriorate the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible—and fixing that damage has historically required ...
Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space ...
