Bio
Paul is an authority in the field of structural mechanics for composite materials, a pioneer in the emerging field of morphing composite structures, and an expert in the structural mechanics of buckling and postbuckling of optimised composite structures. He has also contributed to the development of a novel manufacturing technology for composites (Continuous Tow Shearing).
He exploits the stiffness tailoring capability of composite structures and applies this knowledge to the design of aircraft, rocket structures, high performance yachts and wind turbine blades to name just a few application areas. He studies the interactions between (mostly) mechanical properties of materials and structural geometry and models their effect on the overall performance of structures that move. Such structures place a premium on being lightweight and being efficient or ‘slippy’ in the medium they move, whether it is air or water! Using such principles, he has designed helicopter blades with in-built material anisotropy to reduce vibrations in the rotor blades of the EH101 (Merlin) helicopter, created buckling formulae for lightweight anisotropic aircraft and space structures as used by Airbus, Boeing and NASA and devised highly efficient mathematical models for slender structures that have been adopted by commercial LUSAS finite element software. In a search using Scopus, he is the No.1 author in the world on both topics of morphing composites and buckling of composites (since 2000).
