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.

Marine risers are critical components of any offshore oil and gas production operations linking subsea field developments with production and drilling equipment atop fixed or floating facilities.
The project will focus on creating the multi-scale three-dimensional models for accurate analytical prediction of the effect of reinforcement with bristled nanowires on the overall performance of the composite material, leading to the optimal usage of very expensive nanomaterials.
Secondary currents in open-channel flows such as rivers and canals play a key role in transport of momentum, sediments, nutrients, and other substances.
The aim of the is project is to develop an efficient nonlinear aeroelastic topology optimisation method and apply it to design novel, high performing aeroelastic structures, such as wings and wind turbine blades.
Applications are invited for a full time PhD studentship in the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences on a research project in Autonomous Systems for Train Servicing funded jointly by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Grid integration of renewable energy sources are one of the main driving forces of current growth in the electric power industry, particularly in the UK.
