Waves and Continuum Mechanics

The Waves and Continuum Mechanics group carries out research in a diverse range of areas in Applied Mathematics including asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations, wave propagation and scattering in inhomogeneous media, cloaking, ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation, metamaterials, homogenisation, dynamic fracture, phononics, and platonics.

Research interests:

• Asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations
• Wave propagation and scattering in inhomogeneous media
• Cloaking
• Metamaterials
• Homogenisation
• Dynamic fracture
• Phononics
• Platonics.
