Background

Introduction

Having completed a Royal Society International Research Fellowship, Peter joined Â鶹´«Ã½ in 1994 as a Lecturer in Structural Engineering. His research and teaching were concentrated on computational mechanics.

With a background firmly set in the mathematical aspects of computational mechanics, the need to develop materials testing research was not immediately obvious. This changed with the desire to verify this work in the simulation of textile and rigid composite structures. The requirement for high fidelity material properties has now led to the development of testing technologies and clearer understanding of material behaviour.

More importantly, the applied sciences of computational mechanics and material characterisation are now seen to be intrinsically linked in the research we undertake within the Group, with each being equally important and essential.

Research

Research Interests

Professor Peter Gosling is Professor of Computational Structural Mechanics.

Professor Gosling has an international reputation for his work in the field of computational structural mechanics for the simulation of composite materials and structures  established in a holistic stochastic-based framework encompassing experimentation through to simulation. The integration of materials design and testing into his computational mechanics research through the application of reliability analysis techniques has led to robust design optimal solutions and material analysis for composite materials.
