Materials engineering
issues are faced by many industries so that MERL works across
a wide variety
of industry sectors. Common themes of our work include:
-
Characterisation of materials and measurement
of service relevant performance properties
-
Product design and improvement
-
Design analysis and life prediction of materials,
components and structures
-
Use of innovative test methods with theoretical
background justified
-
Development of new methods for testing, evaluation
and life prediction
-
Consideration of both mechanical and chemical
factors on deterioration and long-term performance
-
Use of finite element analysis for performance
prediction and validation with component/structural testing
