Mechanical Engineering (structure) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 56 Mechanical Engineering (structure) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction with Turbulent and Multiphase flows

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving turbulent and multiphase flows and flexible structures find numerous applications in Science and Engineering, e.g., aeroelasticity of aircraft wings and wind turbine blades, wave-structure interactions of offshore structures, flexible wave energy converters, floating solar farms, and flight of birds and insects.

Fur and Feathers: colour, structure and flow control

The objective in this exciting cross-disciplinary project is to investigate the potential of a bio-inspired coating of flexible devices to passively modify energetic modes of an unsteady crossflow and to assess, for the first time, the role of colour in determining mechanical properties. Read more

Development of solar-powered self-healing 3D printed composite structures

Development of solar-powered self-healing 3D printed composite structures. 4D printed devices are Additive Manufactured components with shape-shifting capabilities [1]. 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

Computation-driven Design of Functional Materials

The urgent demand for new technologies has greatly exceeded the capabilities of current materials research. In the past decades, computational modelling has been playing an increasingly important role in accelerating materials discovery and innovation. Read more

Development of an Optical Shape Sensing Method Using Optoelectronic Sensors for Soft Flexible Robotic Manipulators in Minimally Invasive Surgery

About the programme. Over the last two decades, many soft continuum manipulators have been developed by many academic institutions and industries for MIS (minimally invasive surgery), endoscopy, and colonoscopy because they can easily access the small or narrow opening in the body during a medical operation. Read more

Multi-rate and/or non square systems and/or decentralised control

In many chemical processes there are limitations on the sampling rates and the number of inputs and outputs may not match. This affects the structure of the control law as one ends up with a so called multi-rate or non-square system , for which conventional control design is not applicable. Read more

PhD in Manufacturing Routes for Highly Controlled Structured Metamaterial Nanoparticles

This is a challenging and unique PhD opportunity for a student with a good materials, physics and/or engineering background, interested in applying their knowledge to the rapidly growing and multidisciplinary field of metamaterials. Read more

Mono-Material Barrier Films for Sustainable and Circular Plastic Packaging Applications (MonoFilm)

Plastic packaging materials play a crucial role in today's society, offering advantages such as versatility, hygiene, safety, lightweight properties, and, notably, a low carbon footprint when compared to alternative materials. 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
