Project title: Artificial intelligence-assisted computational modelling of fracture

This PhD project will focus on the application of advanced computational techniques, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence, to enhance our understanding of material failure and fracture processes. The research will integrate physics-based modelling approaches with AI methodologies to address critical challenges in simulating fracture under dynamic and complex loading conditions. The work will be grounded in continuum mechanics and will utilise cutting-edge numerical methods to develop predictive models that can be validated against experimental data. While traditional approaches to fracture modelling rely on deterministic frameworks, this project aims to introduce AI-assisted strategies that can adapt to the inherent uncertainties and complexities in real-world material behaviour. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing state-of-the-art computational methods, with the potential for significant interdisciplinary collaboration in areas such as mechanics, applied mathematics and computer science.
