PhD Studentship: Advanced Methods for Deployment and Analysis of Pressure Sensitive Paint

The University of Manchester - Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

Qualification Type: PhD
Location: Manchester
Funding for: UK Students
Funding amount: £19,237
Hours: Full Time
Placed On: 28th August 2024
Closes: 16th September 2024

This 4 year PhD is fully funded by the Atomic Weapons Establishment. The funding includes the EPSRC minimum stipend (£19,237 for 2024/25) plus a stipend top up of £5,000 per year. Only UK students are eligible to apply.

This project aims to develop a measurement technology (pressure sensitive paint) to work in an industrial blast range. The technique has been demonstrated at small scales and in University facilities; however, challenges associated with scaling up to industrial tests are complex. The aim of the project is to measure the motion of transient blast waves generated by explosives with an ultimate aim of quantifying explosive forces experienced by objects.

The project will utilise electronics, optics, programming to investigate aerodynamics and will provide the candidate with an excellent base of industrially relevant skills as well as the opportunity to work with a industry for direct application of the work.

Applicants should have achieved a minimum 2:1 honours BEng in a relevant engineering field (Mechanical or Aerospace preferred) - MSc or MEng preferred. Funding includes UK home student fees only
