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...
