Expertise
● Behaviour of materials and structures when subjected to impact loading
● Material deformation at high speeds to help understand the microscopic causes of rate dependence, with a view to better design and use of materials
● Development of novel experimental techniques for different materials using high speed photography combined with quantitative image analysis
● Materials investigated include aerospace alloys (e.g. Titanium), polymers and natural materials, such as silk, this wide range is enabled by extensive collaborations with leading researchers in the fields
