PhD Studentship: Exploring Friction Stir Welded Steel Joints on Giga-cycle Running Machines

University of Strathclyde

Qualification Type:	PhD
Location:	Glasgow
Funding for:	UK Students, EU Students, International Students
Funding amount:	Fully funded for UK students (EU and International candidates can apply, but will need to cover the fee differential)
Hours:	Full Time

Placed On:	15th August 2024

Overview

This project will investigate the performance of steel friction stir welds on equipment subjected to gigacycle fatigue loading conditions with a view towards future industrial implementation. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver novel research as part of a vibrant research group and closely collaborate with an industrial sponsor.

Eligibility

Candidates must have a first-class Honours degree or merit-level postgraduate degree in a relevant subject.

Project Details

This will be a detailed experimental investigation, consisting of microstructural characterisation and mechanical property testing (including ultrasonic fatigue testing) research tasks aiming to assess, develop and ultimately optimise relevant process parameters.

Participating in this project offers additional benefits including travel (UK and abroad), significant (engineering and soft) skills-building activities, networking and reporting to a wider group and the industrial sponsor, accessing and working with unique pieces of equipment.
