Responsibilities and qualifications
This project is a part of the NEXTgenT (NEXT generation of over 25MW offshore wind Turbine rotor design) MSCA Doctoral Networks. The overall objective of theNEXTgenT training network is to educate a new generation of researchers capable of converting their new knowledge of atmospheric science and wind turbine technologies into the development of the next generation of 25+MW offshore wind turbine rotor systems. In this work, you will investigate mechanisms of damage of extra-large wind turbine blades, using the methods of computational mechanics and finite element modelling. You will develop computational models of wind turbine blade damage under the mechanisms specific for extra-large blades, including increased tip velocity and the larger role of torsional forces, and explore solutions to mitigate the damage risks.
Required Qualifications
- A master’s degree in materials science, applied mechanics, solid mechanics, mechanical engineering or related disciplines,
- Knowledge of finite element modelling (Abaqus) and scientific programming in a higher-level language (preferably Python)
- Knowledge in materials science and composite structures
- Demonstrated experience in preparing scientific publications is welcome
