About Me My name is Brad Wynne. I have a background in Materials Science/Engineering with a focus on advanced metals and their processing for the aerospace and nuclear industries. All my work is industrially driven and I work with companies like Rolls-Royce, Boeing, BAE Systems, and Sheffield Forgemasters. My Projects In the grand scheme of things, my projects are about getting expensive materials, like aerospace-grade titanium, into service with a high degree of confidence. In most cases, engineers are uncertain about how a material will perform in-service, leading to conservative design approaches. Often, this leads to heavier components than is necessary, which is a waste of resources and expensive – both at the point of entry and during operation. In reality, my projects are about understanding how materials evolve during processing – how they respond to hot deformation and how their microstructure evolves. But I don’t want to look down a microscope and hand wave an explanation, I want to simulate or mathematically describe how those materials respond. So if you are up for the challenge of finite element modelling of forging or using the likes of Python to develop code using some fancy maths then my projects may just be for you.
