Dr Bonney is a lecturer focusing on multi-physics joint modelling and multi-disciplinary development of digital twins. He has a wide expertise that spans multiple countries including France, USA, and the UK. This has allowed him to build a wide network of collaborators on a wide variety of topics that include: digital twins, nonlinear structural dynamics, mechanical joint modelling, seismic reliability (nuclear and civil), and uncertainty quantification for space vehicles.
My research focuses on digital twins, nonlinear structural dynamics, mechanical joint modelling, seismic reliability (nuclear and civil), and uncertainty quantification for space vehicles. Currently, my major focus is digital twin security/trust and thermo-mechanical coupling in assembled structures.
This module enables students to participate in a group activity involving an integrated holistic approach to achieve a solution to a specific engineering problem. In most instances it will involve either direct interaction with industry or will be an industrially-related project. Issues other than providing a purely technical solution to the problem will have to be considered in order to achieve a satisfactory outcome to the project.
The module introduces systems to aerospace engineering students, and covers aspects of systems engineering, systems management, aircraft fluid systems,aircraft electrical and electronics systems, aircraft flight control systems, maintenance and reliability of systems.
The course introduces the students to experimental studies in a wide range of subjects relevant to Aerospace Engineering. Each experiment is self contained and the student will present the findings in written form through a lab report (or combination of lab reports and class tests) which will have a set of experiment specific questions to answer. This written reports and class tests also forms the basis for the assessment. All students work in groups and carry out five in-situ experiments and one external experiment, however the assignments are all individually submitted. The students keep a log-book of the experimental observations and results, which is used for reference for the technical report from each experiment written-up within the fortnight after the experiment.
The modules introduces systems to aerospace engineering students, and covers aspects of systems engineering, aircraft fluid systems, aircraft electrical and electronics systems, management maintenance, reliability and sustainability of systems.
