Numerical and
Mathematical Modelling
This activity provides a
model base for our research portfolio and is complimented by other modelling
approaches such as mathematical
modelling and semi-empirical design models. This research aims to integrate
meoscale, atomic-scale and continuum models. Finite element models based upon the
generation of residual stress, contact mechanics, and surface engineered
components represent some of the themes of this activity. Static, dynamic, and
non-linear programming therefore forms a part of this activity. Lagrangian,
Eulerian, and Combined Lagrangian Elerian (CEL) models underpin the
investigations of these highly nonlinear problems with an aim to integrate this
modelling approach with Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(MDS).
