About the course
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. Read more here.
Research profile
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).
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
