Deadline: 30 Nov 2015

The University of Bath wishes to appoint a Research Associate to work on an exciting EPSRC-industry funded project “Multiscale modelling of aerospace composites - Increasing Quality, Reducing Empiricism and Challenging Conservatism”. The high cost of certification in aerospace manufacture and the inefficiency of general safety factors have led to a new initiative whereby numerical simulation and stochastic methods can be used to demonstrate structural integrity, offering scope to challenge conservative stress/strain limits and reduce design-to-manufacture time from years to months.

This project will engage a multidisciplinary team of engineers and mathematicians to address this opportunity and to develop novel mathematical modelling tools. An embedded university-industry partnership will focus effort on creation of new capability with underlying fundamental research.

The Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences have an established track record of collaborative research. Partnership with world-leading researchers at the University of Florida will provide unique opportunities to enhance research in mathematical methods for UK manufacturing.

Applicants should possess a first degree in a Science/Engineering subject and a PhD with significant mathematical content, as well as extensive experience of programming and implementation of numerical methods. Experience in some of the following areas will be a distinct advantage: software development, continuum mechanics, finite element methods, partial differential equations. Candidates should be self-motivated and possess project management and technical communication skills.

Please include a covering letter, detailed CV and an abstract of your PhD thesis with your application.

PhD Position: Development of a microstructure based discrete element snow model for engineering applications
University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Closure Date: Monday, February 29, 2016

The University of Luxemburg within its multi-disciplinary and –cultural environment offers a PhD-position in mechanical engineering in close cooperation with WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research in Switzerland that conducts experimental work. In this project a discrete particle snow model for high strain rate deformations is developed. Such a model has several advantages to the traditional continuum snow models. First, a discrete model can directly include microstructural information. Second, it includes a priori contacts and bonding between the particles. Third, it can explicitly account for the large displacements and rearrangement of the ice grains during deformation that is the transformation of the continuous network of bonded ice grains into a granular medium. Hence, a discrete particle model explicitly includes all the relevant physical micro-scale processes. Work is to be started and continued from an
already available XDEM software-platform.

Expectations:
The successful candidate is expected:
• To carry out predictions using the Discrete Element Method
• To derive model approaches for the formation and destruction of bonds between ice grains
• To post-process predicted results in conjunction with a physically-based analysis
• To validate model approaches
• To compare experimental measurements and predictions to extract relevant features
• To document results and findings in English

Requirements:
Candidates should have a Master/Diploma degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or equivalent to pursue a PhD-study. This should ideally be complemented by the following skills:
• Knowledge of the Discrete Element Method
• Mathematics and numerical methods
• Object-oriented programming in particular C++
• One of the working languages: English, German or French
• Willingness to work in an inter-cultural environment

Benefits:
• The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the heart of Europe, a multilingual country, and headquarters of many European institutions and businesses, offers a particularly interesting setting.
• The University of Luxembourg offers students the opportunity to pursue doctoral studies under the supervision of academic staff or in cooperation with other host institutions.
• Fixed-term contract 3 years, full-time (40 hrs/week) with a possible extension to a 4th year.
• Employee status

The University of Luxembourg is an equal opportunity employer.
