Welcome

Welcome to the website for the New Frontiers in the Mathematics of Solids research programme, familiarly known as OxMOS. This programme is now at an end, but the website is preserved here for reference.

For more up to date information about inter-disciplinary research in this area in Oxford, visit the Oxford Solid Mechanics website.

The objectives of the project were to strengthen the mathematical underpinning of modern materials science through transfer of technology and techniques across areas; to link up with materials scientists, engineers and biologists; and to train a new generation of mathematicians, competent in analysis, modelling and computation, who can effectively interact with scientists from other fields.

The project concentrated on three important areas of applications:

The formation of patterns of microstructure in alloys
Fracture mechanics
Applications of solid mechanics to medicine.

More details of these themes can be found on the research page.
