Supervisor: The project will be co-supervised by Prof Seetharaman, Royal Academy of Engineering / Tata Steel Research Chair in Low Carbon Materials Technologies, and an Industrial Scientist from TATA R&D. Project: This project intends to study the effects of drop-formation and evaluate the extent of refining that is carried out from metal...

Li-ion batteries currently form a crucial part of the electrified power-train. Li-ion batteries have a number of ageing mechanisms, these manifest themselves as a slow loss in the amount of energy the battery can store and reduction in the amount of power the battery can produce over vehicle life. It is crucial to understand how the battery behaviour...

Systems Level Diagnostics and Health Monitoring of Complex Electrical Systems Currently root-cause electrical and electronic faults in vehicles are difficult to detect due to the large number of interacting systems and distributed control leading to emergent behaviour. How do you improve the ability to diagnose and the confidence of diagnosis with...

Supervisor: Professor Richard Dashwood Aim To optimise the processing of the existing A20x alloy for extrusion. To identify and evaluate an alternate commercial alloy composition which will be reinforced with TiB 2 to obtain product with required target application properties through extrusion processing. In both cases comparison against an...

WMG and Jaguar Land Rover are seeking a top class candidate to undertake research leading to the award of an International Engineering Doctorate from the University of Warwick. As a ‘Research Entrepreneur’ on our International Doctorate programme you will have unrivalled access to some of the best teaching and industrial expertise in the...

There has been much progress made towards CO2 reductions in the automotive industry through the use of technology, but one of the main sources of inefficiency remains- the driver. There are a range of possible driving styles but no consistent way to characterise these, and understand how they might evolve through a journey; for example the same driver...

Power and signal cables contribute to the mass of a vehicle consequently reducing its efficiency, particularly for the more electrified vehicles. Weight reduction strategies of e.g. vehicle body contribute to an increased efficiency of the vehicle, but to date little attention has been paid to the mass of the on board cables. There is an opportunity to...

Currently root-cause electrical and electronic faults in vehicles are difficult to detect due to the large number of interacting systems and distributed control leading to emergent behaviour. How do you improve the ability to diagnose and the confidence of diagnosis with currently available technology. What data is required to improve upon current...
