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 | Better understanding of fracture in materials that are difficult to quantify (concrete, cement, graphite, bones etc). This has helped design improved materials and structures and aided less conservative assessment of damaged objects. |
Exploitation Route | Improved design and less conservative (but reliable) assessment of materials and structures. |
Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Construction Energy Environment Healthcare Government Democracy and Justice Security and Diplomacy Transport |
Description | Helped inform safe operation of nuclear reactors by understanding behaviour of reactor core and structural materials |
