Teaching
Prior to moving to СʪÃÃÊÓƵ London, Kevin has been involved with post-graduate and CPD training since 2005 and is based around the application of non-linear numerical simulation methods and optimisation approaches to understand the response of structures and materials to dynamic loading, covering:
-
Structural Mechanics / Stress Analysis
-
Simulation for Impact and Crashworthiness (explicit FEA)
-
Design of Automotive Integral Vehicle Structures
-
Material Characterisation for Simulation
-
Applied Finite Element Modelling (Static and Dynamic)
- Thin-Walled Structures
Kevin leads strategic development of the off-campus MSc programmes delivered through NSIRC (National Structural Integrity Research Centre), located at Granta Park (near Cambridge) and is programme director:
- Structural Integrity (Asset Reliability Management) MSc and MScR programmes
- Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering: MSc and MScR programmes
Kevin also coordinates and delivers credit bearing engineering CPD courses to industry (see link opposite), providinga flexible route towards post-graduate qualifications (PgCert, PgDip, MSc and MSc by Research).
