Use AI to understand how materials break
Do you want to use artificial intelligence to tackle one of engineering’s toughest problems? This PhD lets you explore how and why materials fail and build next-generation models that predict fracture under real-world conditions. You’ll go beyond traditional methods, combining continuum mechanics with AI and cutting-edge computational tools to handle uncertainty and complexity in material behaviour.
