The 64 m diameter Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT), located near Cagliari (Italy), is the world’s second largest fully steerable radio telescope with an active surface. Among its peculiarities is the capability of modifying the configuration of the primary mirror surface by means of electromechanical actuators. This capability enables, within a fixed range, balancing of the deformation caused by external loads. In this way, the difference between the ideal shape of the mirror (which maximizes its performance) and the actual surface can be reduced.
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Manchester to help develop the next generation of simulation tools. These will be used to evaluate the structural integrity of novel aerospace composites under a wide range of operational conditions. The student will join a €3-4M euro research project that has recently been funded to investigate the use of biomaterials in aerospace composites. The project involves a range of academic and industrial partners in Europe and China, providing many opportunities for overseas research visits.
Dear all,
I need to calculate SIF through a FEM program by writing some line of codes. The problem is that I wasn't able to find a reference contains straightforward formulation and procedure for this. Can anybody help me please with this issue?
Cordially,
Mohammad
