University of Sussex is offering PhD studentships. Two PhD studentships are available for suitable candidates with a strong interest in structural dynamics and numerical analysis. Studentships are for three years and cover a stipend at standard research council rates (£14,057 per annum for 2015-16), tuition fees (for one UK/EU student and one overseas student) and a research support grant.
Study Subject(s): Studentships are awarded in Sensitivity and uncertainty of dynamic and static deformation of gas-turbine bladed discs with friction joints.
Course Level: Studentships are available for pursuing Postgraduate Research programme at the University of Sussex
Scholarship Provider: University of Sussex
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility: Candidates with strong capacity in numerical modelling, finite element analysis, mathematics and programming are particularly welcome to apply.
Scholarship Open for International Students: UK, Europe (Non-UK), International (Non-UK/EU) citizens can apply for this scholarship.
Scholarship Description: Bladed discs are one of the most critical and heavily loaded components of gas-turbine engines. Increasing requirements for efficiency, reliability and environmental friendliness of gas-turbine engines demand from the industry development of new designs and, hence, the effective methods for numerical analysis of bladed discs which can enable such a development are needed. This project is aimed at development of numerical methods for the effective analysis of sensitivity of bladed discs to variation of some design parameters for specified characteristics. Moreover, the sensitivity-based methods allowing fast assessment of effects of variability and uncertainty of material properties and geometry of blades on the static deformation and vibration amplitudes of bladed discs will be developed.
Number of award(s): Two PhD studentships are available
Duration of award(s): Studentships are for three years. Depending on the needs of the industrial project one of the Studentships may be extended up to six months in order to undertake further testing of the modelling on the company premises in Europe.
What does it cover? Studentships are for three years and cover a stipend at standard research council rates (£14,057 per annum for 2015-16), tuition fees (for one UK/EU student and one Overseas student) and a research support grant.
How to Apply: Applicants must also apply for a PhD place using the online postgraduate application system of the University of Sussex. To apply, please send your CV, all transcripts of your university studies, with a cover letter specifying your interest to the following email address: y.petrov-at-sussex.ac.uk.
Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications will be accepted until positions are filled (although the selection process will start from 1st July 2015).
