The School of Engineering is to lead two doctoral training centres (CDTs) to equip PhD students with key skills needed by the defence and security and renewable energy sectors.
This fundamental scientific research aims to investigate the dynamic loading, motion response, impact of vortex induced vibration and its suppression mechanism, and fatigue failure of subsea power cables subjected to combined 3-dimensional waves, currents, and turbulence.
A state-of-the-art tidal turbine blade has been manufactured in Scotland for the first time and more cheaply than before, which, engineers say, could reduce the levelised cost of tidal energy.
