(CDT Advanced Metallic Systems) Titanium cold dwell fatigue loading - effect of stress concentrations
Research Group:
Advanced Metallic Systems CDT
This project is based at the Department of Materials at the University of Manchester, and is sponsored by Airbus. We are seeking a UK national with a 2.1 or 1st class degree in a STEM discipline. Read more
Advanced Fatigue Analysis of Metallic Railway Bridges
In the UK and several other countries, large parts of the railway infrastructure were built in the late 19th/early 20th century. Metallic railway bridges are key elements in these networks and need to stay safe and functional for as long as possible. Read more
Environmental fatigue life investigation of Automated Fibre Placement Process (AFPP) for Composite Mast PhD
This PhD studentship is funded by Network Rail, the owner and infrastructure manager of most of the railway network in Great Britain, and Furrer+Frey, presently an international leading and innovative, mid-size supplier of overhead contact lines. 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
Multi-Scale Modelling of the Fatigue and Fracture of Aerospace Alloys
The drive for greater fuel efficiency is making the production of lightweight structures with adequate strength and endurance a primary concern for the aerospace industry. Read more
Fatigue and Fracture of Fibre Composites
Aircraft manufacturers are now competing based on their aircraft’s fuel efficiency due to the high cost of aviation fuel. As a result, in recent years, these manufacturers have turned more and more to the use of lightweight composites in their designs for almost every component of their aircraft. Read more
“Investigation into the Accumulated Fatigue Damage in Riveted Connections in Steel Bridges
Applications are invited for our EPSRC funded Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) PhD studentships that will support six (6) research projects starting 1 October 2022. Read more
Multi-Scale Fatigue Modelling of Out-of-Autoclave Composite Materials
Project description. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRPs) composite materials are increasingly used in load-carrying structures owing to their high stiffness and strength and low weight advantages. Read more
High speed photography to investigate surface wear and fatigue in railway rail and wheel steels
A novel high speed photography technique is being developed at Sheffield which will give new insight to the very earliest stages of railway rail and wheel surface modification during contact. Read more
(CDT Advanced Metallic Systems) A Digital Twin of abnormally coarse grain structures in critical titanium forgings for military aircraft applications
Research Group:
Advanced Metallic Systems CDT
This project is based at the University of Manchester and is sponsored by DSTL and seeks candidates with a 2.1 or 1st class degree in a STEM discipline, particularly Applied Mathematics, Materials Science, Physics or Mechanical Engineering with an interest in computational modelling. Read more
Development of Sustainable Mining Equipment using Novel Fracture Mechanics based Structural Design Optimisation
The aim of this PhD project is to develop a robust framework to experimentally and numerically investigate the fracture mechanics behaviour of mining machines. Read more
Facial emotion analysis to assess the engagement level and reduce video conferencing fatigue
Research Group:
Visual Computing
Faces are a source of rich information about individual identity, and also about mood and mental state, being accessible windows into the mechanisms governing our emotions. Read more
Lifing of Dual Wall Turbine Blade Technologies A
A funded 3-year UK/EU PhD studentship is available in the research group of Professor Paul Bowen and the High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC), School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham, with a stipend of £14,777 per year. Read more
Digital Twin for fitness for service assessment of offshore wind turbines
A typical wind turbine is made up from a variety of materials, such as welded steel tower structure is either fixed or floating type. Read more
Transition to high performance railway overhead power lines
Recently undertaken research at Sheffield has identified opportunities to reduce the cost and improve the reliability of rail electrification systems through improvements to materials and design of the pantograph to overhead line contact. Read more
