Level: PhD
Employer: Denmark Technical University
Study Subject: Engineering
Scholarship Description:It is the intention to investigate the pultrusion process for the manufacturing of the blades in the proposed Darrieus wind turbine concept. An important part of this is to develop a numerical model for pultrusion addressing the generic physical phenomena such as material flow during wetting of the fibres, heat transfer during curing and also thermally induced stresses during curing and subsequent cooling. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the other partners in the project.
Qualifications
* M.Sc. in mechanical engineering, materials science, applied mathematics, physics or similar
* Experience with numerical modelling of preferably manufacturing engineering and materials testing
* Knowledge of heat transfer, fluid flow and solid mechanics
* Ability to work independently, to plan and carry out complicated tasks, and to be a part of a large, dynamical group
* good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
Approval and Enrolment
