Funded PhD in Computational Mechanics of Porous Metallic Materials
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship fully funded by the EU research project. The position is for a three-year research program leading to the PhD degree.
This project focuses on fracture and failure mechanism of metallic foams. The project will focus on extreme loads such as impact and blast. Metallic foam is lighter and does better in a crash than regular old metal or fiberglass. Check out the recent wired article on foam http://www.wired.com/2014/12/aluminum-foam-trains/.
