Enhancing the performance, condition, safety and reliability of offshore wind energy infrastructure systems using optimal design, inspections, structural health monitoring and structural control
. Wind turbines are exposed to frequent structural damage increasing the cost of wind energy generation. To drive these costs down, this project will develop new automated methods for detection of structural damage to wind turbines by examining vibration responses measured by sensors attached to the structure.

Development of digital twins linked to risk-based monitoring of structural systems
The performance of structural systems depends on appropriate quantification of uncertainties associated with the loading, geometric and material characteristics. Read more
Advanced design of fibre reinforced composites - using multiscale reliability analysis and optimisation
This project aims to advance the design of components made from fibre reinforced composite materials, by combining techniques in multiscale analysis, structural reliability and design optimisation. Read more
Categorising commercial fishing risks and interactions with subsea pipelines through finite element analysis
Applications are invited for a PhD project based at the National Decommissioning Centre and the University of Aberdeen. The successful student will undertake research into the risks arising from interactions between subsea pipelines and commercial fishing in the North Sea. Read more
Lightweight structural systems for low-carbon housing
The legally binding UK government target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 cannot be achieved without minimizing the carbon footprint of the construction sector. Read more
Stochastic response characterisation and reliability driven optimisation of floating wind turbines
As the wind turbine installations move to deep-water environments, there is an increasing focus on the design considerations for floating wind turbines (FWTs). 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
SUPER DTP: Water quality risks from soil structure degradation in Scotland
Are soils being managed in a way that degrades their structure and affects water quality? You will help answer this question in a fully funded PhD… Read more
Numerical modelling of cracked engineering materials under dynamic loading
It is common knowledge that all existing structural materials contain various inter- and intra-component cracks and crack-like defects which appear in materials during fabrication or in-service. Read more
Optimal Design of Fibre Reinforced Composite Pipes
Currently, the application of composite materials in the energy industry lacks proven test methodologies and understanding of technical and fundamental issues relevant specifically to composite materials and structures. Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in inclined gravity currents
Recent research indicates that microplastics – plastic pieces measuring 5 mm or smaller -- are now ubiquitous in the environment, having been found in lakes… Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in partially saturated soils
Recent research indicates that microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment. Read more
Laboratory investigation, surface complexation and molecular dynamics modelling of silica-brine-CO2 interfacial properties
CO. 2. injection into deep aquifers aquifers or depleted oil reservoirs is a promising method for safe carbon geological storage (CGS). Read more
Laboratory and field measurements, and interpretation of self-potential signals that arise in response to water flow is a fractured basement rock in N-W Scotland - application to characterisation of subsurface fracture patterns
Self-potentials (SP) arise when an electrolyte (e.g. groundwater or brine) flows through a porous rock (hydrocarbon reservoir or aquifer). Read more
The transport of plastics and alien particles under waves
While substantial fundamental research has been conducted in recent decades on sediment transport under waves,, little is known about the behaviour of alien particles dispersed within a sand bed mobilised by waves. Read more
