Mechanical Engineering (information studies) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 27 Mechanical Engineering (information studies) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

High Speed Stereo Imaging Techniques for Flame Studies

Turbulent flames are inherently 3D in nature, which demands for 3D diagnostic techniques. Digital 3D stereo imaging techniques have progressed significantly in recent years due to the advancement of digital imaging technique and computing power. Read more

Studying Glacier Hydrology using new Wireless Instruments

PROJECT BACKGROUND. Are you keen to pursue a research career in glaciology? We have a rare opportunity for a fully-funded studentship with flexibility to define your own research project. Read more

An experimental 3D volumetric study of train aerodynamics

The aerodynamic slipstream created as a high-speed passenger train moves through the air is highly turbulent in nature. In particular the wake region is known to contain a series of helical vortices, which spread laterally into the far wake region, potentially affecting the stability of trackside workers. Read more

Artificial Optical Nervous System

Supervisory Team: Ali Masoudi & Gilberto Brambilla. Project description. The study of the mechanical properties of any large, complex structures such as a space launch vehicle or Earth’s crust relies on a large array of sophisticated and, often, expensive sensors. Read more

Gravity separation of emulsions. Collisions of droplets

Supervisory Team.   Dr Anatoliy Vorobev. Project description. The separation of colloidal systems under the influence of gravity is a physical phenomenon encountered in a myriad of industrial processes throughout the food, chemical, petroleum, and hydrometallurgical industries. Read more

Investigation and modification of surface treatments for attracting and capturing microfibres dispersed in aqueous environments

Microplastic pollution is a well-known environmental concern. The continuous increase in the production and use of plastics in various forms in combination with a lack of waste management in their disposal continues to contribute towards contamination. Read more

Novel Methods for the Characterisation of Helicopter Aero-acoustics PhD

Cranfield University has been at the forefront of rotorcraft research for the last 13 years, having an established track record on rotorcraft modelling, performance, aero-mechanics, and aero-acoustics. Read more

Development of a Design Synthesis Methodology Appropriate to the Conceptual Design of 6th Generation Combat Aircraft PhD

This PhD topic relates tool development appropriate to the conceptual design of 6th generation combat aircraft. The research will explore relevant feature modelling and progress to explore the design space of this class of vehicle. Read more

Modelling blood motion in deformable vessels

This project aims to introduce a novel approach in studying blood flow in deformable vessels by simultaneously considering both the fluid (blood) and the structure (vessel) through analytical and numerical approaches. Read more

Data centric modelling of adhesive wear

Supervisory Team:  Robert Wood, Jo Grundy and Dave Stewart (RRSL).  Project description. The occurrence of adhesive wear between sliding surfaces can cause high friction, vibration, material transfer between surfaces and even seizure of components. Read more

Assessing blood flow control in the brain

Supervisory Team.   Profs. David Simpson. Project description. Blood flow to the brain is controlled by a series of interacting complex physiological mechanisms that ensure an adequate supply at all times. Read more

Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing

During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more

Study Engineering in the USA with the George Washington University

Doctoral students comprise the backbone of research conducted at the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Through funding support from faculty, internal and external grants, doctoral students can expect to take 4-6 years to complete the program through coursework, research credits and writing their dissertation.
