In the field of experimental solid mechanics – a discipline that focuses on understanding and measuring the physical properties of different materials – researchers have traditionally relied on ...

Solid mechanics is the branch of continuum mechanics that focuses on analysing the behaviour of materials and structures under applied loads. It encompasses a rigorous study of stress and strain, ...

Mechanics of materials is an area focusing on quantitative description of the motion and deformation of solid materials subjected to forces, temperature changes, electrical voltage or other external ...

A number of powerful FE packages (ABAQUS, COMSOL, FEniCS, …) offer the possibility to solve complex problems (material/structural nonlinearities, multiphysics, …). The different computational methods ...

Detonation loading in cylindrical structures is a complex phenomenon that involves the rapid exposure of components to high-pressure shock waves generated by explosive events. This process not only ...

Bristol has a successful history of using applied mechanics and cutting-edge technology to help define and solve industrially motivated challenges. The Solid Mechanics Research Group (SMRG) has ...
