On a systematic approach for cracked rotating shaft study: breathing mechanism, dynamics and instability
We present a systematic approach to deal with the modelling and analysis of the cracked rotating shafts behaviour. We begin by revisiting the problem of modelling the breathing mechanism of the crack. Here we consider an original approach based on the form we give to the energy of the system and then identify the mechanism parameters using 3D computations with unilateral contact conditions on the crack lips. A dimensionless flexibility is identified which makes the application of the approach to similar problems straightforward.
Society of Engineering Science - 2018 Medal and Fellow Nominations
The Society of Engineering Science oversees several awards and honors to members and eminent scholars of the field. A total of five medals are offered on an annual basis as well as election to Fellow grade of the Society.
Two PhD Studentships in Next-generation Aircraft Propulsion Materials (Imperial College London)
We are seeking two motivated candidates for fully-funded PhD studentship in the exciting field of high performance alloys for next-generation aero-engines.The studentships include fees and a stipend of £16,553 for suitable candidates ordinary resident in the UK or EU nationals for the duration of 3 years.
Post-doctoral position in Failure of Brittle Materials at National University of Singapore
We anticipate an opening for a post-doctoral fellow position in micromechanics based failure modeling of heterogeneous brittle materials. The focus will be on characterizing the roles of flaw distributions on rate-dependent failure in materials such as concrete. The objective is to develop an understanding of failure processes with the aim of designing high performance brittle materials.
