Composites

Context
As part of a collaborative project between different Belgian industrial partners and Universities related to the study of composite laminate under impacts, the main objective of the doctoral position will be to develop a multi-scale numerical framework to study failure of the synthesized materials.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

Dear colleagues,

Applications are invited for a 2 year (1+1) postdoctoral position with a background in durability and design of composite materials. 

Dear colleagues,

Applications are invited for a 2 year (1+1) postdoctoral position with a background in durability and design of composite materials. 

The Institute of Structural Analysis invites applications for a position as a Head of Research Unit (Experienced Researcher)  (ref. no. 90) for leading the research unit „Composites“ and to be appointed at the earliest possible date.

The department composites is performing research on development and validation of new computational methods for fibre reinforced materials and structures ranging from nano to macro scale (structural component). The research unit consists of 17 scientists.

Dear Colleagues, In the context of the EU Marie Curie ITN Project FULLCOMP, a workshop "Novel Developments in Failure Analysis of Composite Materials and Structures" for PhD students and young researchers will take place on 30-31 July 2018 at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. This workshop presents recent developments in various aspects of failure analysis of composite structures, ranging from material modelling to structural modelling and from testing and identification aspects to numerical analysis.

Composites are used more and more as structural components in aerospace industry, automotive sector, wind energy applications,… As a consequence, the loads on those composite components are much higher than for secondary components, and can lead to fatigue damage in the composite part. Moreover, the fatigue behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites is much more complex than that of metals, because of the many different fibre/polymer combinations, the heterogeneous nature of the composite, the anisotropic behaviour of the composite and the multitude of damage mechanisms.

It is still possible to submit abstracts for this years symposium, which had the theme "Fatigue of Composite Materials: Microstructure, mechanics and methods". The symposium is organized by Section of Composites and Materials Mechanics of the Department of Wind Energy of the Technical University of Denmark, DTU.

We have new openings for two PhD students –fully funded - in the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at McGill University, starting Fall 2018 (Application deadline: 01/15/2018)

Two funded PhD positions for 4 years are available in the composites group at Ghent University in Belgium. Both are focussed on computational mechanics of composites, in the framework of multi-scale modelling.

PhD Position (4 years) in Experimental Study of Nano-Composites

Center for Design, Manufactirung, and Materials, Skoltech, invites applications for a PhD position in Experimental Study of Nano Composites, starting in November 2017.

We are looking for a PhD and postdoc researcher in thermographic inspection of composites, in the context of NDT (NonDestructive Testing) and defect detection.
