Brunel University London has partnered with the National Structural Integrity Research Centre to provide an opportunity for students to undertake in-depth research in combination with the industrial experience of TWI across the varied disciplines essential to structural integrity. Considering the expertise and track record of both Brunel and NSIRC-based staff, the following areas have been identified as the main research strengths within in the wider field of Structural Integrity: Dynamic response of materials and structures (modelling, experimental characterisation and design/optimisation for composites and metals), Structural health monitoring based on ultrasound wave propagation and acoustic emissions in solids (modelling, experimental validation, signal processing and sensors), Steel, concrete and hybrid structures (material design, manufacturing, modelling and experimental characterisation), Fatigue and fracture (modelling, experimental characterisation), Extreme loading (e.g. fire, earthquake, blast and progressive collapse) Fluid structure interaction (unboned flexible risers) Manufacturing (e.g. sheet metal forming, bulk forming, casting, extrusion, 3D printing).
