My research is focussed on the thermo-mechanical behaviour of various composite systems, including certain types of surface coating. There is an emphasis on processing and also on the development of analytical and numerical models - both for process simulation and for prediction of thermo-mechanical performance. Current activities include use of the nanoindentation technique and various studies of residual stresses, interfacial adhesion, thermal barrier coatings, metal fibre-reinforced ceramics etc. Applications include components offering improved impact resistance, high temperature insulation, wear resistance, interfacial adhesion etc, in a wide range of fields.
