Keith Davey is a researcher at The University of Manchester with expertise in scaled experimentation, materials processing, and numerical modelling. His work focuses on similitude approaches for high-rate impact loading, finite element simulations of metal forming processes, and the development of scaled frameworks for strain rate sensitive structures. Davey has published extensively on topics such as ring rolling simulation, twin-roll casting of magnesium alloys, and the application of finite similitude in biomechanical and fracture mechanics contexts. His research integrates experimental and computational methods to address challenges in materials processing and impact mechanics.
