About Materials Interactive
Materials Interactive is developed and maintained by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL)'s Centre for Materials Measurement and Technology. If you have any comments or questions about the site, or any of the subjects it covers, you can contact the authors by email.
Dr. Nick McCormick (Nick.McCormick@npl.co.uk)
Nick developed the Java/VRML simulations and has had considerable experience in data visualisation and visual modelling. He is currently a project leader for a NPL funded project on Visual Modelling. Contact Nick for more information on the topics covered on this site.
Keith Lawrence(Keith.Lawrence@npl.co.uk)
Keith assisted in the development of the Java/VRML simulations, and the current design of the Materials Interactive site. He currently works as a programmer for NPL's Centre for Materials Measurement and Technology (CMMT). Contact Keith for more information on the topics covered on this site.
Dr. Neil McCartney (Neil.McCartney@npl.co.uk)
Neil developed all the mathematical models for the behaviour of composite laminates used in the simulation. Together with Pamela Cooper of Handley Software, he has developed a suite of FORTRAN computer programs that implement the models that predict the growth of damage in in composite laminates. Contact Neil for more information about the laminate damage models, or regarding problems which might arise during the running of the FORTRAN programs.
Funding and Support
Materials Interactive is supported by the DTI Composite Performance Design Programme, and with money from the NPL Strategic Research programme.
