PhD Researcher in Multiscale Mechanical Modelling of Adhesive Joints

1 month ago


Aalborg, Ålborg Kommune, Denmark Aalborg Universitet Full time
Job Description

The PhD project is part of the NextGenBlade project, a Sapere Aude project funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project aims to develop a strong and fatigue-resistant adhesive assembly concept for wind turbine blades and other large composite structures.

Research Focus

The focus of the PhD project is on the modelling of the adhesive joint, involving a multiscale model of the joint and damage mechanisms. The project will cover design, modelling, and experimental characterization of the adhesive joint.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop a detailed multiscale model of fatigue-driven damage on the length scales from μm to cm
  • Develop a machine learning model that mimics the effects of damage development relevant for a model on the structural scale
  • Combine the machine learning model with an existing FEM-based damage prediction framework
  • Collaborate with another researcher in the project on experimental characterization
Requirements
  • Documented skills in modelling and analysis of laminated composite materials
  • Experience with machine learning and progressive damage/fracture simulation
  • Good problem-solving skills and analytical mindset
  • Excellent collaborative skills and ability to work independently
What We Offer

The PhD scholarship includes a competitive salary, university and course participation fees covered, and opportunities for travel, conference participation, and an external research stay.

We are looking for a self-driven and motivated candidate with a strong academic background and a passion for research in composite materials and machine learning.
