Composites

The Graduate School MUSIC and the Institute of Structural Analysis at Leibniz Universität Hannover invite applications for a PhD candidate position (Salary scale TV-L E13).

The Institute of Structural Analysis (ISD) organizes the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on the Mechanical Response of Composites from 21st - 23rd September 2011 in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Graduate School on Multiscale Methods for Interface Coupling (MUSIC) of Leibniz Universität Hannover, and REpower Systems AG.

Dear iMechanica commmunity,

we are looking for 3 PhD students at Oxford, starting from the 1st of October 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. The closing date for the application is the 26th of July. The 3 students are required for two different research projects, namely:

1) Underwater blast on composite structures - open only to EU nationals; 2 PhD students are required. The studentships are advertised here

The Materials Research Division, Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark, is seeking candidates for a Senior Researcher position in the area of processing of polymer matrix composites to develop innovative strategies and to improve current methods of manufacturing polymer matrix composites for the energy and transport sector. 

Risø DTU has close collaboration with the leading wind turbine blade manufactures such as LM Glasfiber A/S, Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Siemens Wind Power A/S.   

A post-doc position is currently available at the Research centerfor Aircraft Parts Technology in Gyeongsang National University (Jinju, SouthKorea).

The research project will be based in the Research centerfor Aircraft Parts Technology in Gyeongsang National University. The researchwill be supervised by a principal investigator of the project (Prof. Jin-HweKweon).

A post-doc position is offered at the Ecole Centrale of Nantes France.

Closing date for receipt of applications: 30 January 2010You will join a research project “Optimise blast resistance of novel composites made with fibre metal laminates (FMLs)” sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust. The project will be jointly supervised with Prof. Cantwell who is an expert on testing of novel composites. The project is to develop comprehensive finite element models capable of simulating various deformation and failure modes relating to composite features of FMLs subjected to extreme loading conditions.
