Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre
The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre (MEMARC) has four research groups. Here you can find out more about each of these research groups and their individual specialisms.
Researchers from MEMARC specialise in the area of dynamics and control systems.
The Fracture and Contact Mechanics specialises in the development and use of finite element structural and multi-physics packages.
MEMARC's members conduct research into materials development, as well as biological systems and sports engineering. Learn more about this research, the researchers who work in this area and the materials development and processing projects members have completed.
Wave propagation in lattices and microstructures is one of MEMARC's key research specialisms. Researchers working in this area concentrate on invisibility, focusing and shielding.
The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre (MEMARC) have a number of PhD research opportunities. Find out more about postgraduate study within MEMARC.
The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre (MEMARC) have published a variety of research papers and publications.
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the pace at which educational institutions moved towards a blended approach of online and in-person learning (Jisc, 2020). While embracing this change, the challenges it brings for learner experience, engagement and learning must be carefully considered.
