We have an open position as a PhD student in the area of fracture mechanics of fibre composites. The focus of the position is to develop element test specimens, i.e., test specimens that are purposely-designed with the aim of checking the accuracy of model predictions of damage evolution (two or more damage types) in composite structures subjected to static and cyclic loading

We have an open position as a PhD student in the area of fracture mechanics of fibre composites. The focus of the position is to develop "element test specimens", i.e., test specimens that are purposely-designed with the aim of checking the accuracy of model predictions of damage evolution (two or more damage types) in composite structures subjected to static and cyclic loading.

We have published a paper called "Micromechanical model for prediction of the fatigue limit for unidirectional fibre composites" in Mechanics of Materials. See the link here.

A new PhD position is vacant at the Section of Composites and Materials Mechanics of the Department of Wind Energy at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The PhD project will concern damage tolerance of composite materials subjected to static and cyclic loading. The objective is to creacte enhanced fracture resistance by facilitating the formation of multiple cracks with large-scale fiber bridging along the interfaces in a layered composite by controlled mechanical properties by surface treatments.

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.

DTU Civil Engineering, DTU Mechanical Engineering and DTU Wind Energy are  inviting applications for three 3-year PhD positions starting summer 2017 as part of an exciting project ‘Understanding Fatigue though multi-scale testing and modelling’ in the new Villum Center for Advanced Structural and Materials Testing – CASMaT.

Apply for this job no later than 5 May 2017.

A Senior Researcher/Researcher position is available at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), at the Department of Wind Energy in the Section of Composites and Materials Mechanics. The Section consists of about 30 people and has modern laboratories for manufacturing and mechanical testing of composite materials. Research is conducted in research projects usually with external national or international collaboration. The research focusses on composites materials consisting of long, aligned fibres in a polymer matrix for use in wind turbine blades.
