Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description The project developed and applied quantum mechanically accurate simulations of defects in metals and ceramics to make predictions about how these materials fail. Our findings also allowed the uncertainty associated with our predictions to be quantified to allow an assessment of their validity.

Please see also the Key Findings description provided for EP/R012423/1.
Exploitation Route Our findings could be incorporated in larger scale models such as finite element method simulations of fracture, crystal plasticity and discrete dislocation dynamics. They can also be directly compared with experiments. They are relevant to inform the use of materials in fracture-relevant applications such as the Nuclear and Oil and Gas industries.
