Welcome to the website for the New Frontiers in the Mathematics of Solids research programme.
The objectives of the project are 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.
To this end we propose to undertake a broad programme of interdisciplinary research in solid mechanics, ranging from fundamental analytical issues (including existence, uniqueness, singularities, regularity, stability and bifurcation of solutions, dimensional- and model-reduction, and homogenization) to problems relating to applications and the mathematical modelling of specific materials (such as alloys and bio-materials), and questions associated with the development of new algorithms for the numerical simulation of these, supported by rigorous mathematical theory.
We will be concentrating on three important areas of applications:
More details of these themes can be found on our research page.
