PhD studentship: UMBRELA - Understanding of Multiaxial Behaviour of Emerging Lightweight Alloys for sustainable mobility. Newcastle University in United Kingdom

PhD Studentship in Reconfigurable Meta-structures at Imperial College London , Department of Mechanical Engineering. This funded PhD project focuses on mechanical engineering , solid mechanics , structural mechanics , polymers , and robotics , with an emphasis on reconfigurable meta-structures and adaptive, electronics-free functionality switching. The research explores how geometry, materials, and nonlinear mechanical response can be used to create architected structures with multiple functiona...

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...
