<p>Description:</p>
<p>The properties of artificial materials can be designed to exhibit extraordinary properties by cleverly engineering their composition. Our group was granted the European Commission for Research (ERC) consolidators (CoG) grant in order to develop metamaterials that manipulate elastic waves, with potential applications such as vibration isolation, energy harvesting, cloaking and more. The ERC CoG grant is intended to support pioneering ideas of researchers who have shown the ability to conduct creative, ground-breaking research.</p>
<p>We seek motivated and talented PhD students (postdoc positions are also available) to work on the theoretical, numerical and experimental tasks of the project. Suitable candidates should submit their application, which includes a CV, contact details of two referees and a short motivation letter to Prof. Gal Shmuel at <a href="mailto:meshmuel@technion.ac.il">meshmuel@technion.ac.il</a>.

The position is available from 1st February 2022 or later.</p>
<p><strong>Research area and project description: </strong><br />Wind, solar, wave, and tidal energy play a central role in achieving the decarbonization of our energy system. As a consequence, a large portion of future power grids will be installed offshore and take the form of lattices of marine structures, i.e., a vast set of floating structures interconnected by a shared mooring system in a scalable and cost-optimal way.</p>
<p>Optimizing such systems requires accurate prediction of hydrodynamic loading exerted on floating structures. Despite the tremendous development of computational modeling tools, hydrodynamic loading models still require extensive experimental validation to provide accurate predictions. Hydrodynamic experimentation is mainly conducted in ocean basins where a moored floating structure is subjected to waves generated by a wave maker. Such experiments are time-consuming and, therefore, limited in duration and number.</p>
<p>This Ph.D. project aims at developing algorithms for the design of optimal hydrodynamic experiments such that the cost for calibration of hydrodynamic loading models is minimized, and uncertainty on responses of interest can be quantified. Accordingly, this Ph.D. project will mainly consist of theoretical and numerical work across the domains of hydrodynamic modeling, testing, and machine learning.</p>
<p>This Ph.D. project is hosted at the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering of Aarhus University, Denmark, and it is part of the activities of the CYBERLAB project funded by the Research Council of Norway and led by SINTEF Ocean in Trondheim.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">In our center: “The physics of metal plasticity” we conduct basic science to reveal the physical mechanisms governing the mechanical properties of metals, such as strength and formability. When metals are deformed plastically, dislocations (defects in the crystal lattice) multiply and self-organize in 3D patterns. We have developed a hard X-ray microscope at the European Synchrotron Radiation Source (ESRF) that for the first time allows visualization of how these patterns form. We are looking for an outstanding and motivated candidate to join our international group, where we combine X-ray physics, simulations of experiments and scientific computing with dislocation dynamics simulations to understand metal plasticity. </span></p>

The role largely involves developing a deeper understanding of “structure-performance” relationships through the development of advanced numerical methods, including finite element analysis, physics-based constitutive models of polymers, and data-driven approaches to develop fast and high-throughput models. The successful candidate will work closely with Chemists, compounders, experimentalists, as well as helping in developing new concepts to tackle various technical challenges. By taking advantage of the substantial laboratory testing and characterization facilities as well as the pilot-scale equipment at the HPM lab, the Senior Modeling Scientist will gather critical experimental input for their models, validate her/his ideas under real-world conditions and drive projects to deployment at industrial operations. </p>
<p>Dr. Dargazany will work closely with the successful candidate in a collaborative lab environment to develop the project and help the trainee achieve their career goals.</p>
<p>The appointment will be for 3 to 4-months. Salary will be around $4,000 per month.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>A. <strong>SYNTHETIC DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AND RESEARCH OUTCOME:</strong></span></strong></p>
<p><span> </span>Laser cutting represents a modern and effective technology able to complement and/or replace well-established mechanical and thermal processes. Hence, the cutting of metallic materials as an intermediate stage of processing is of vital importance in the industrial production process. As a result, time, cost and quality of these phases greatly impact on further processing and, thus, the overall labor cost. While exhibiting undoubted technical/practical benefits, this technique has not yet been fully explored. Hence, the tuning of process parameters that define the cutting quality, both from a geometrical and a metallurgical viewpoint, are still the subject of depth study and of strong interest, especially in the field of structural steels subjected to high-cycle fatigue. There, mechanical property requirements, especially versus fatigue problems and high strength steels, as highlighted by Eurocode 3 Part 1-9 and Part 1-12, demand a thorough study on the modifications induced by laser process on structural steels widely used in construction.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>On this basis, in order to optimize typical process parameters, the candidate has to carry out a series of standard and advanced tests on both materials, structural joints, examine data from thermal cameras and carry out finite element (FE) analyses mainly at the material level. Both the thorough study of the effects of laser cutting process of structural steels and the improvement of the elated problems, in particular the main issues related to fatigue will allow the use of these structural materials and relevant laser cutting techniques on a larger scale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The outcome of the research activity will consist in technical reports and journal papers.</span></p>

<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">We are pleased to invite applications for a PhD position in the new four-year EU-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN programme “<strong>INSPIRE - INNOVATIVE GROUND INTERFACE CONCEPTS FOR STRUCTURE PROTECTION</strong>”. This network is led by National Technical University of Athens and consists of 7 European universities (Univ. of Trento, ETH, Univ. of Lille, Technical University of </span><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span>Kaiserslautern</span><span>, Univ. of Mons, Univ of Bologna) 1 Research Institute (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) as well as 5 industrial partners (RINAC,FIP, ADT, IGF, GRSc). </span></span></p>

<p class="Default"><strong><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">A. THE PROJECT </span></strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">The goal of INSPIRE is to foster a new generation of highly qualified researchers and engineers able to implement novel soil-foundation-structure concepts for the efficient protection of structures from all ground induced hazards, including earthquakes and all other sources of low-frequency noise and vibration excitations.</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span>INSPIRE relies on recent innovative scientific and technological concepts, mainly developed within the broad concept of meta-materials – natural or artificial materials or structures which exhibit extraordinary properties for inhibiting or conditioning wave propagation in all spatial directions over broad frequency bands. General developments of meta-materials will be combined or enriched with novel absorption and isolation concepts (i.e negative effective mass and stiffness moduli media, novel friction vibro-impact rocking motion based non-linear mechanisms) with the goal to overcome the limitations of the existing seismic and low-frequency isolation technologies and deliver highly-damped, low maintenance and easily implemented designs.</span></span></p>
