The project sits within the Division of Computational Mechanics and Materials Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and is part of LEGEND , a European Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network focused on understanding the effects of defects in composite structures. The research is centered on fibre-reinforced composite aerospace st...

The KTH Royal Institute of Technology is offering a postdoctoral position in experimental and computational fracture mechanics in Stockholm, Sweden. The project combines experimental testing of mini-CT specimens with numerical modeling to improve methods for characterizing crack growth resistance in ductile materials. A key scientific theme is the use of sub-sized specimens in structural integrity assessment, including geometry effects and the transferability of laboratory results to real compon...

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is offering a PhD position in the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanica van materialen en constructies (MeMC), focused on next-generation steel roof decking with perforations and micro-profiling. The project is a doctoral research opportunity for a predoctoral researcher working on the structural behaviour and design of light- and micro-profiled steel roof sheeting. The research combines laboratory experiments, finite element modelling, and analytical d...
