Mechanical Engineering (affect) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 22 Mechanical Engineering (affect) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Investigation into the Impact of Material Properties on the Gas Transport Behaviour of Polyolefin Materials

The sustainable use of polymeric materials is underpinned by ensuring long service life in all industries and applications. Understanding durability requires research into the effects of both manufacturing methods and environmental storage conditions on the material properties and performance over time. Read more

Ignition and fire spread processes in the Wildland Urban Interface

This PhD project in fire science interlinks prevention and protection from wildfire risk, by focusing on providing a clearer understanding of uncontrolled fires and the conditions that cause them to arise in the wildland urban interface. Read more

Optimisation of impinging jets for reduction of deposit formation

We are excited to offer a fully funded PhD opportunity in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Sheffield for someone with a passion for computational fluid dynamics modelling. Read more

Three-dimensional hybrid composites for repair and recycling PhD

This PhD research opportunity focuses on the development of self-healing three-dimensional metal-composite hybrid materials. These will use through-thickness reinforcement to embed metallic elements, acting as a means of targeted heat introduction, to activate re-processable matrices like thermoplastics or vitrimers. Read more

Experimental Investigation of Singular Two-phase Pressure Losses Relevant to Nuclear System Thermal-hydraulic Applications

A fully funded 4-year EPSRC ICASE PhD Studentship, co-sponsored by Westinghouse, is available in the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University to design and perform experiments at the THOR loop to measure two-phase pressure drop across selected simple geometrical singularities within a relevant range of conditions. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

UCL's Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre (UCL SECReT) was founded in 2009 with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement. Read more

Sustainable delivery of materials through spray coating

  Research Group: School of Mechanical Engineering
Many materials have additional protection through modifying their surface properties. This PhD examines the fluid mechanics of this process. Read more

Multi-material metal 3D Printing for compact, lightweight heat exchangers for high power thermal management (Studentship I)

Supervisors. Dr. Luke Parry, Dr. Vitor Marques (Industrial Supervisor). About the Project. The project is to contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MOD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and this project will be co-funded by Leonardo. Read more

High precision time-resolved thrust measurement and Two-dimensional plasma plume diagnostics

Supervisory Team: Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). Project description. This exciting PhD project offers a unique opportunity to develop a high precision time-resolved thrust balance and optical diagnostics to characterise the spatial distribution of plasma plume generated by a plasma thruster. 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

Improving technical efficiency in Rowing

Supervisory Team:  Dr Joseph Banks, Dr Dominic Taunton, Prof Stephen Turnock. Project description.  The sport of Rowing presents the engineer with a complex multi-physics challenge where marginal performance gains can make the difference between success and failure. Read more
