The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper describes how the innovative idea of an Engineering Design Centre (EDC) has been used to integrate academia, industry and government to build a highly successful internationally respected design research base. We restrict our description to the marine, offshore, civil and structural engineering areas and show how the research council's requirements for innovative design were met at the Newcastle EDC, the biggest and most successful of the United Kingdom's EDC's.
