موقعیت تحصیلی دکتری در زمینه خرابی و آسیب مواد کامپوزیتی در کالج سلطنتی لندن
Composite components with bio-inspired micro-structures: Exploiting improved damage tolerance
Project Description
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. studentship in the Department of Aeronautics. The successful candidate will have the opportunity of working with a dedicated team involving various academics within a larger project with Rolls-Royce. The successful candidate will have the exciting opportunity to interact closely with Rolls-Royce during this project.
The project aims to develop original and improved CFRP solutions to implement alternative release planes in CFRP fan blades and to improve the energy dissipation in CFRP containment casings during blade-off events. This will be achieved by manipulating the microstructure of the CFRP to achieve greater damage tolerance and bespoke translaminar fracture properties at component level.
If you are interested in applying, I will be happy to address initial informal enquiries you may have (Prof. S Pinho, silvestre.pinho@imperial.ac.uk). To apply, you can then follow the standard College on-line application procedure (

The studentship is for three years starting around October 2020 and will provide full coverage of tuition fees (at home rate) and an annual tax-free stipend of circa £17,009 for 3.5 years.
