- Additional information
- This work is the first of its kind to explore the effect of density grading on the energy absorbing and damping behaviour of flexible honeycomb structures. The work was initiated under EPSRC ‘Engineering Fellowships for Growth’ (EP/M002489/1) and co-funded by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) for improved crew safety. The work has led to the formation of a spin-out company by author Bates (https://actuationlab.com/home.html), and the award of £35k ICURe Innovation to Commercialisation grant leading to a follow-on award of £300k Innovate UK grant to commercialise the technology and develop products for industrial trials.
