PhD Studentship in Reconfigurable Meta-structures in Mechanical Engineering Imperial College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Sydney for students interested in the intersection of mechanics and materials science . The post is shared by Ashley Roach , a Lecturer of Mechanical Engineering at USYD, who is inviting aspiring PhD students to review the attached information and submit an application. This appears to be a research-focused doctoral opening rather than a scholarship announcement. The topic is centered on mechanical engineering and materials science, making it a strong fit for...

PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia, School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, on developing a finite element based model for pellet relocation in nuclear reactor fuel. The project focuses on pellet-clad interaction (PCI) in nuclear fuel performance, with emphasis on modelling fuel pellet fragments, inertial behaviour, chemical species migration, and loss-of-coolant accident scenarios. The work compares and benchmarks modelling approaches in Abaqus and COMSOL, including the mo...

NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) is advertising a PhD position in Computational Mechanics of Protective Structures under Blast and Impact Loading . The project sits in the Department of Structural Engineering and focuses on how buildings and critical infrastructure behave under explosions and other extreme loads. The research has a clear societal mission: developing new knowledge, methods, and tools to assess whether existing buildings can function as shelters and how resili...

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Oxford , UK, in the group of Prof. Emilio Martinez-Pañeda . The project is ResistHfracture , supported by an ERC Starting Grant under the UK Horizon Europe Guarantee , and it focuses on developing the first generation of hydrogen-resistant alloys . This opening is especially relevant for candidates with training in Materials Science , Physics , Chemistry , or a closely related engineering discipline. The research themes include mec...

[Self-funded PhD; candidate must secure funding for fees and maintenance privately or via external/government scholarship.] PhD opportunity at the University of Nottingham in ABA Laser Cladding , a recently developed variant of laser cladding focused on improving material deposition efficiency and expanding the design space for advanced surface coatings. The project investigates the full potential of ABA cladding, where separated “A” clads are deposited first and then the valleys are filled with...
