About the project. The University of Cincinnati has been developing a suite of ultrasonic sensors for structural health monitoring in extreme, typically high temperature (550°C+) environments. Read more
The University of Sheffield's Leonardo Centre, a world-leader in tribology, is seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated PhD student to join a collaborative project funded by John Crane Ltd, one of the world’s leading providers of engineered technology. Read more
Piezoelectric MEMS microphones have the advantages of eliminating the need for vacuum packaging, low power consumption, and simplicity of fabrication. Read more
Finite element models are used to predict the vibration characteristics of aircraft and automotive vehicles. A large and complex model can be generated to determine the level of vibration which can be transmitted from one area to another. Read more
Tracking and detection methods for UAVs and drones typically involve human in the loop, with technology including long range radar, short range radar, cameras, infra-red camera, RF communication technology and acoustics. Read more
The aim of this project is to establish a new class of sensing system that is capable of mapping strain distribution at thousands of points using a single strand of optical fibre thinner than a human hair. Read more
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of engineering research with a focus on sound and vibration? Would you like to develop… Read more
Explore the space where physics-based modelling and artificial intelligence meet. Join this project on ultrasonic non-destructive characterisation of complex materials. Read more
Closed cracks are challenging material defects where the two split faces touch, making them extremely difficult to detect. This project aspires to create new methods for ultrasonic imaging of complex cracks through experiments, modelling and advanced imaging development. Read more
This project focuses on experimentally characterizing and predicting noise from tip vortex-blade interactions in eVTOL aircraft, addressing a key challenge in reducing noise for urban air mobility. Read more
This PhD project focuses on characterizing and predicting noise in short intake ducted propeller systems for eVTOL aircraft, critical for Urban Air Mobility noise reduction. Read more
Noise is a major environmental impact of civil aviation. Reducing aircraft noise is critical to the aeronautics industry and future air transport. Read more
Supervisory Team. Prof Alan McAlpine, Dr Jack Lawrence. Scattering of sound by turbulence occurs in civil aircraft turbofan engines as the sound generated by the fan or turbine propagates through the exhaust jet shear layers. Read more
Vibro-acoustic digital twins have the potential to increase the sustainability of machines and vehicles by making them more silent, while keeping performance high and energy consumption low. Read more
