NexSys PhD Fellowships at the School of Engineering NUI Galway
About the research. The transition to a net zero carbon energy system is one of the major challenges facing the world. Read more
Kirigami-based energy dissipating devices for seismic protection of structures
Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, can be used to generate complex morphing 3D shapes from a 2D sheet. Children’s pop-up books are a familiar example. Read more
Last chance to apply
Sprayed self-healing cement composites for repair
OVERVIEW. The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
Composite Materials with integrated ‘‘massless’’ energy storage for use in civil and mobile applications such as electric vehicles, drones, and composite planes
Nowadays in electric cars, batteries, contribute a large part of the vehicle's weight, which means additional footprinting and load bearing function. Read more
Computer vision and machine learning for recognition of civil structure components and their damage analysis
In this project the PhD research student needs to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the deep convolutional neural network for analysis of civil infrastructures, such as concrete bridges, highways, buildings, tunnels and stadiums, using videos and images. Read more
Effect of hydrogen on the fatigue behaviour of defected metallic materials used in the UK’s gas pipeline network
Hydrogen (H2) has the potential to become one of the world’s most valuable green energy vectors to abandon the use of fossil fuels in the energy, transport and heating sectors, which together contribute to more than 70% of the UK CO2 emissions. Read more
Efficient discretisation schemes in upper bound limit analysis
Requirements. The candidate should have a first class or upper second class honours degree, or a master’s degree (or equivalent qualification), in Civil Engineering or in a discipline that can be relevant to computational mechanics (e.g. Read more
Research on deformation monitoring along Metro Line Based on Beidou super CORS
Supervisors. Principal supervisor. Professor/Dr Lei Fan (XJTLU). Co-supervisor. Professor/Dr Qing Wang (JITRI). Co-supervisor. Professor/Dr Cheng Zhang (XJTLU). Read more
Digital Twin Prototype for Vehicle Structural and Crashworthiness Design
Supervisors. Principal supervisor. Dr Charles Loo (XJTLU). Co-supervisor. Dr Li Huang (JITRI). Co-supervisor. Professor Weijian Han (JITRI). Read more
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Distributed gamma dosimetry with fibre-optic cables (Cavendish Nuclear and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
This project will develop fibre-optic sensors for remote, distributed gamma dosimetry. The aim is to use state-of-the-art approaches in sensor hardware and software development to produce a measurement system which can distinguish between gamma ray energies over a high measurement range. Read more
Multi-sensing deterioration monitoring of railway bridges
Rail infrastructure deteriorates with time due to material fatigue, overloading, ground movement and environmental effects. This might affect the serviceability and structural integrity of rail assets, such as bridges, causing major socio-economic disruptions and occasionally life loss. Read more
Ecologically constrained building design: What can we build from the zero-carbon resource pool?
The department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Bath is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project, expected to commence in October 2022. Read more
The Use of Shape Memory Alloys to Enhance the Behaviour of Framed Concrete Structures
The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
Parameters Affecting the Stiffness and Ductility of Reinforced Concrete joints under Cycling Loading
The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
