PhD Opportunities

Submitted by wayne on Mon, 08/08/2022 - 07:19

Griffith University (Gold Coast, Australia) have PhD scholarships available for suitably qualified candidates. For the next competitive intake, we are looking to recommend two PhD candidates to work on the development of lightweight fibre-reinforced composite materials. We are particularly interested to hear from (and preference will be given to) applicants with some experience in the area of design, manufacture and testing (destructive or non-destructive) of composites, and/or machine learning (ML) techniques applied to engineering problems.

PhD Opportunity—Hygro-thermo-mechanical Analysis of Layered Composites

Submitted by Zia Javanbakht on Wed, 08/03/2022 - 11:09

job

Overview. Two full-time PhD positions on "Hygro-thermo-mechanical Analysis of Layered Composites" are available. The successful candidate will be working within a team to develop analytical/numerical solutions for the hygrothermal response of composites or similar layered products. The main idea is to work on orthotropic layers stacked arbitrarily.

Minimum Requirements. High GPA (>85%) and a track record of high quality relevant publications (minimum one first-author journal paper).

PhD position in multi-scale modeling of sea ice deformation

Submitted by Arttu Polojärvi on Mon, 08/01/2022 - 06:26

discrete element method

numerical modeling

computational mechanics

applied mechanics

We are looking for a doctoral student to work multi-scale modeling of sea ice deformation on numerical modeling of ridging of sea ice by using discrete element method. Large-scale continuum models are typically used to study ice behavior with a resolution of some tens of kilometers. These models do not accurately describe small-scale processes related to deformation and failure of ice. In such models, the ice properties, such as compressive strength are tuned so that the models to present observed ice behavior. Predictive power of the models suffers from this.
