Understanding tree anchorage to make forests more resilient to climate change
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Understanding and improving the assessment of wind risk to Irish forests
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Flood Propagation modelling
The mathematical modelling of flood propagation in rural and urban areas is typically carried out using numerical codes that solve with different approaches the so-called Shallow Water Equations (SWE), i.e. Read more
MINIMAL - Smoothed particle hydrodynamics for multiphase flow
Multiphase flows are encountered in most physical processes and engineering applications. The present project will look at the physics of the wave breaking at the beach, where the wave energy is dissipated generating air entrapment, and significant sediment transport. Read more
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) modelling of hydraulic turbines
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) modelling of hydraulic turbines. A fully funded PhD studentship is available at the University of Parma (in Parma, Italy) in the framework of a Scientific collaboration between Andritz Hydro SAS and University of Parma. Read more
Data-driven structural health monitoring through AI-enhanced stochastic model updating and parametrisation
The department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde is inviting applications for the following fully-funded PhD project (for international students it will be partially funded), expected to commence in October 2022. Read more
Modular and industrialised solutions for building retrofit
More than 85% of the 2050 building stock is already built and almost all will require some form of retrofit/renovation in order to meet global carbon emissions reductions goals. Read more
Novel heated permeable concrete infrastructure for the built environment
Primary supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. Alalea Kia. Co-supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. David M G Taborda. Overview. Read more
Effects of self-cementing properties on the performance of a sustainable capillary barrier cover system by using recycled concrete aggregates
In supporting the UK Government to fulfil its targets on carbon emissions and environmental protection, there is an increasingly strong emphasis on recycling and reuse of construction waste in civil engineering. 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
Advanced Composites Structures FEA/CFD Modelling Design and Manufacturing
Introduction. The most common composite material consists of carbon or glass fibres that are bonded together with a polymer matrix and are often referred to as carbon or glass fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP or GFRP). Read more
Material characterisation and residual stresses of 3D-printed steel structures
Successful 3D-printing of steel structures requires optimisation of the printing process which in this project consists of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Read more
Machine Learning for Forecasting Dynamics of Geological Reservoir during CO2 or H2 Storage
According to International Energy Agency’s 2021 world energy outlook report, a substantial amount of energy will be needed from fossil fuels in all scenarios. Read more
Advanced geophysical multi-sensor data inversion and integration into GIS
Although we have significantly improved our ability to map and monitor overground objects, our ability to detect and locate buried objects has not improved much in the last 20 years. Read more
Rolls-Royce sponsored PhD scholarship - Laser Beam Processing of Aerospace Materials - (ENG 1408)
Applications are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD programme in partnership with industry to address key challenges in manufacturing engineering. Read more
