Showcasing our research and teaching in engineering, materials and computer science, the Engineering the Future conference will be hosted by the School of Engineering and the Department of Materials on 28 and 29 March 2023. The conference gives you an opportunity to learn more about our recent and future research and our educational activities...

Training Course on In situ experiments and Digital Volume Correlation

05 - 06 April 2023

Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...

A 2 day training course covering theory and computer-based practical works using the Thermo Scientificâ„¢ Amira-Avizo Software. Lab/synchrotron X-ray tomography has emerged as one of the most important techniques for research in a wide range of applications including healthcare, energy, food and geology. Advances in the quality of X-ray beams,...

Training Course on Advanced Scripting and Batching of Tomographic Datasets

20 - 21 April 2023

Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...

Chemical Imaging and Tomography - Training Course

24 - 25 April 2023

Jumpstart your understanding of advanced chemical imaging & tomography with this two-day course by Finden. Learn about the fundamental principles, current instrumentation, and how these approaches are applied through a variety of techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD-CT), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES-CT), X-ray fluorescence (XRF-CT)...

Design for additive manufacturing, a methodology to enhance fatigue performance

15:00 - 16:00 25 April 2023

Abstract of the lecture In the design of mechanical components and structures, the presence of geometrical discontinuities is unavoidable. These geometrical discontinuities are usually the weakest points of the structure and act as stress raisers and therefore prone to local failure under mechanical loading. Therefore, it is of great importance...

TAI Annual Lecture 2023: Work, Health, and Wellbeing post pandemic, with Guest Speaker Professor Dame Carol Black

16:00 - 17:40 10 May 2023

In 2010 Richard Donkin, author and columnist, wrote: "The history of the way we live and work is more evolutionary than revolutionary in nature." This was true pre March 2020, but then what had been a slow migration of practice - industry to knowledge services, office to home, collective to individual, formal working hours to discretionary time,...

Thomas Ashton Institute Research Showcase

11:00 - 15:00 10 May 2023

A showcase of the diverse and innovative research happening in the Thomas Ashton Institute for Risk and Regulatory Research. This will be an in-person research showcase day on Wednesday 10th May at the University of Manchester. This free showcase will kick-off with a morning of presentations exploring the 6 research themes of the Institute: *Digitalisation...
