Mechanical Engineering research at Brunel has an excellent track record and an international reputation. Staff generate numerous publications, conference presentations and patents and have links with a wide range of types of institution both within and outside the UK.

Neal is taking a PhD in the Mechanical Engineering discipline on aluminium metal matrix composites, with the aim of developing a new, lighter class of aluminium alloys. He is shown in the Experimental Techniques Centre studying the microstructure of his material on a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The discipline therefore benefits from research collaboration with numerous outside organisations, including teaching hospitals, several governmental laboratories (including the National Physical Laboratory, Transport Research Laboratory and the Building Research Establishment), and universities as far afield as Egypt, Turkey, China, Japan, Brazil, Poland and Denmark. Close links are also maintained with numerous commercial concerns, in particular the Ford Motor Company, SKF and British Petroleum, as well as the Teaching Companies with which the discipline works.

Excellent facilities

We have extensive and well-equipped laboratories, particular areas of strength being in fluid mechanics, engine testing, vibrations, environmental engineering, and structural testing. Its computing facilities are extremely varied and are readily available to all students. The University is fully networked with both Sun workstations and PCs. We are connected to this network but also have our own computer facilities. Advanced software is available for finite and boundary element modelling of structures, finite volume modelling of flows, and for the simulation of varied control systems, flow machines, combustion engines, suspensions, and other systems of interest to the research groups.
