An overview of our research group can be found here. My specific research interests include:
- Onset Theory, Strain Invariant Failure Theory (ARC Linkage Project)
- Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites (ARC Training Centre for Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites)
- Composite pressure vessel design (Type III, IV and V) for cryogenic applications
- Modelling and testing composite structures under dynamic loading conditions
- Damage prediction and characterisation for laminated composite materials
- Crashworthiness
- Stochastic simulation methodology for sensitive or chaotic structural mechanics
- Load path theory
