Trosolwg

Mae gan yr Athro Robert Lancaster Gadair mewn Gwyddor Deunyddiau o fewn y Sefydliad Deunyddiau Strwythurol (ISM) ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe, ac ar hyn o bryd mae’n arwain tîm o 10 ymchwilydd sy'n canolbwyntio ar dechnolegau adiol lludded thermo-fecanyddol (TMF) a phrofion tyllwr bach (SPT). Mae cyfanswm ei bortffolio grant presennol yn werth dros £2.25m ar brosiectau wedi’u hariannu+ gan EPSRC, Horizon 2020, Clean Skies 2, Innovate UK, ATI, NRN ac M2A, mewn cydweithrediad â nifer o sefydliadau a chwmnïau ymchwil blaenllaw gan gynnwys Rolls-Royce plc., Rolls-Royce Nuclear Submarines, GKN Aerospace/Additive, NDT TWI Validation Centre, Cummins Turbo Technologies a Phrifysgol Sheffield. Mae'r prosiectau cydweithredol hyn wedi canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar berfformiad mecanyddol a chyfanrwydd strwythurol deunyddiau a weithgynhyrchwyd drwy ddulliau adiol, a gweithredu'r methodolegau perthnasol sy'n gallu efelychu gwir amodau mewn gwasanaeth.

Mae'r Athro Lancaster yn arloeswr yn y defnydd o fethodolegau SPT a'u cymhwyso i strwythurau adiol ac mae wedi datblygu gallu profi lludded SP unigryw sydd heb ei ail yn y byd. Mae wedi cael ei gydnabod yn swyddogol fel arbenigwr cenedlaethol y DU ar SPT, mae'n aelod o fwrdd Pwyllgor Profi Uniaxial BSi ISE 101/01, yn Ysgrifennydd y Pwyllgor Strwythur a Phriodweddau Deunyddiau IOM3 a'r Pwyllgor Peirianneg Gronynnau IOM3. Mae wedi cyhoeddi dros 60 o erthyglau cyfnodolyn a chynhadledd, pennod llyfr drwy wahoddiad ar ymgripiad SP ac wedi bod yn olygydd gwadd ar ddau rifyn arbennig o'r cyfnodolyn Materials, gan ganolbwyntio ar SPT a phriodweddau mecanyddol strwythurau adiol. Arweiniodd hyn at yr Athro Lancaster yn cadeirio 5ed Gynhadledd Ryngwladol Technegau Prawf Sampl Bach (SSTT2018) yn Abertawe ym mis Gorffennaf 2018. Mae'r gyfres hon o gynadleddau sy’n cael eu cynnal bob dwy flynedd yn darparu'r prif lwyfan ar gyfer lledaenu ymchwil ar dechnolegau profi ar raddfa fach gyda chynhadledd 2018 ac yn denu dros 80 o gynrychiolwyr o 15 o wledydd a thros 50 o bapurau wedi'u cyhoeddi yn nhrafodion y gynhadledd, gyda’r Athro Lancaster yn gweithredu fel y Prif Olygydd. Ar ben hyn, bu’n olygydd gwadd i rifyn arbennig o’r cyfnodolyn Theoretical & Applied Fracture Mechanics a adroddodd ar rai o'r datblygiadau diweddar a gafodd eu cyflwyno yn y gynhadledd.

EG-110 Engineering Skills & Applications

Competence in engineering drawing using an industry standard CAD system and essential laboratory skills for Mechanical Engineers.
EG-163 Design and Laboratory Classes 1

Competence in engineering drawing using an industry standard CAD system and essential laboratory skills
EG-287 Materials Practicals 2b: Applied examples in advanced metallic materials

Materials Practicals 2b: Applied examples in advanced metallic materials - identification and assessment of microstructures and mechanical properties of a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. The module will explore the link between microstructure and mechanical properties and show how processing treatments can radically alter the microstructure and behaviour of materials.
EGA132 Engineering Design 1

Engineering Design 1 aims to introduce students to fundamental principles of engineering design processes. Working on real world engineering problems, students will develop problem-solving skills, creative thinking, and an understanding of design considerations. Emphasis is placed on analysing and solving engineering problems while considering technical, economic, and often, societal factors. The module also focuses on effective communication of design ideas through sketching, CAD and technical drawings. Practical skills are achieved through the manufacturing of protype devices.
EGTM76 Professional Development for Engineers

Professional skills can be defined as the transferable skills needed by an individual to make them `employable¿. Along with good technical understanding and subject knowledge, employers often outline a set of skills that they desire from an employee. These skills are what they believe will equip the employee to carry out their role to the best of their ability. Employability depends on your knowledge, skills and attitudes, how you use those assets, and how you present them to employers. This module will introduce a range of professional skills, the importance of them and how they can be developed and enable the student to assess his/her own weaknesses and strengths in terms of individual and team working environments.
