Currently:

• Application of auxetic and multistable systems for human support and machine stiffness switching or damping.

Previously:

• fatigue testing of composites with acoustic emission monitoring to identify individual damage events and damage thresholds.
• investigation of hollow fibre manufacture for multi-functional composite applications.
