Sub-structures for Tailored Mechanical Properties. More info can be found here.
Studentship
2 Project Title: Formulation of Complex Material
Structures for Tailored Mechanical Properties. More info can be found here.
Supervisor: Prof. Ken Evans
Salary: A maintenance grant of £13,500 per annum will be awarded, to
include providing up to 90 hours per year of teaching support (e.g. laboratory
demonstrating, tutorial assistance, etc.). These studentships are available only
to UK/EU citizens.
Sponsored by EADS, a global leader in
aerospace, defence and related services, these three year PhD positions,
starting at the University of Exeter in October 2008, will be supervised by
Prof. Ken Evans, with support from Dr Fabrizio Scarpa (Bristol) and Dr Chris
Smith and Dr Liang Hao (Exeter).
Studentship
1 will focus on the design and development of novel
geometries, sub-structures and materials systems for processing via Additive
Layer manufacture (ALM). Proposed project targets include the delivery of
structures exhibiting near-zero thermal expansion and similar anomalous
thermo-mechanical behaviours.
Studentship
2 will concentrate upon the development of the ALM
systems, processes and methodologies needed to deliver these geometries and a
wider range of highly engineered mechanical components exhibiting advanced
properties and functionality.
Entry
Requirements: Applicants should have a 1st, 2(i),
MSc or equivalent in a relevant discipline.
