About the Project
The Weir Group plc (http://www.weir.co.uk/) is a leading Engineering Solutions business serving the Oil & Gas, Minerals and Power & Industry sectors. The Group’s global footprint covers over 70 countries, employing in the region of 13,000 people. Weir Group products include a wide range of industrial pumps, valves and ancillary equipment. The Weir Advanced Research Centre, WARC, was established by The Weir Group plc at the University of Strathclyde in 2011 as a multi-disciplinary research centre of excellence supporting development of innovative next generation Weir products.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates for a 3.5 year fully funded PhD Studentship to investigate computer modeling of elastomeric materials and components in industrial pumps and valves. The project will involve research into the behaviour and characterisation of elastomeric materials, experimental studies using state of the art materials analysis and mesurement equipment and detailed investigation and validation of numerical modeling and analysis strategies.
