PhD Research 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 year fully funded PhD Studentship to investigate application of vibration analysis and vibration-based monitoring of pump and valve components. The aims of the project are to (a) analyse the complicated nonlinear vibratory behaviour of pumps during their operation, (b) investigate the effect of vibration on critical pump parts, (c) explore the possibility of using the measured vibrations to monitor the condition of the pump/components and (d) investigate data analysis methods for predicting pump/component degradation.
WARC PhD Scholarships
The Weir Group annually funds several WARC PhD Scholarships. These Scholarships provide an excellent, personally-tailored support package enabling students to pursue PhD studies directly related to industry research needs within a professional engineering career structure
Funding Notes:
• An annual stipend of £16,000 (tax free)
• PhD fees and associated costs
• The opportunity to work with multidisciplinary teams from industry and academia in field and practical application of research outcomes
• A structured Personal Development Scheme targeted at early Professional accreditation (e.g. IMechE)
• Fully funded international travel to visit Weir Group companies (typically in Europe, USA & Australia)
• Funding for attending international conferences and seminars
• High specification computing equipment and laboratory facilities
• A potential career route into the global Weir Group
