Dr Damian Quinn

School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Research focus includes the structural analysis and design of thin-walled structures, with a strong focus on aerospace applications. Research targeting both metallic applications (analysis and optimised design considering advanced alloys, novel geometric design and new manufacturing methods) and composite applications (impact modelling, structural analysis and integrated design for manufacture). Simulation interests are centered on the finite element modeling of thin-walled structural components across multiple scales, including the sizing of large scale aerospace components.
