Fatigue Test Machines
There are a wide range of mechanical testing machines used to test the fatigue for a wide range of different materials within the engineering department. The machines are suitable for a wide range of applications, whether for testing the material or component.
Metals analysis
We offer a full service for the analysis and characterisation of metallic materials and components. Our unique combination of materials characterisation and analysis equipment, together with our team of expert and experienced staff in materials research, allows us to deliver the results you require.
Support for postgraduate students
We offer a vibrant community for postgraduates to work closely with experienced academics to develop their knowledge and expertise
Expertise
Our research covers a broad range of topics, from semiconductors to concrete and from theoretical modelling to industrial applied coatings
Lesker UHV Sputtering Rig
Ultra high vacuum PVD system with three magnetron sources and one UHV arc source
High Performance Computing - Beowulf Cluster
High performance computing clusters are used to solve advanced analytical, numerical and computational problems. Uses for high performance range from data storage and analysis, simulations, modelling, data mining, software development and fast mathematical calculations
Automation and robotics
We have brought together robotics related research, teaching and consultancy in order to create a focal point where diverse robotics and automation projects are developed alongside each other
Occupational therapist
This course enables learners to earn a degree in occupational therapy and apply for HCPC registration as occupational therapists.
Corrosion and structural integrity
Our major aim is to elucidate and quantify the processes that contribute to the deterioration and failure of engineering materials through the interaction of material composition, operating environment and the applied/residual stress system.
