Phd Position Dynamic Analysis and Human Vibration

3 maanden geleden

Groningen, Nederland Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Voltijd

The aim of this project is to analyse the vibrations transmitted by consumer products to their hands in order to improve their perception. An accurate model of the product dynamics coupled to hand can provide us with predictions on how the vibrations are perceived by the consumers. These predictions from the models can be made at an early stage before any prototypes are made. If unpleasant human perception being predicted, then the vibration levels can be reduced by design modification for healthy products.

First, a numerical model of the product coupled with hand will be generated in order to understand its vibration behaviour and interaction with hand. Initially, a simple model will be proposed, for example a single spring and a damper to be considered as the coupling system and then the number of degrees of freedom/complexity will be increased by adding more elements in order to accurately represent the vibrations of the coupled system.

Organisation
The University of Groningen is a research university with a global outlook, deeply rooted in Groningen, City of Talent. Quality has been our top priority for over four hundred years, and with success: the University is currently in or around the top 100 on several influential ranking lists.

**Qualifications**:

- A recognized institution has granted a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, specializing with a notable academic track record.
- Proficiency in theoretical aspects of vibration testing and control, as well as the processing and analysis of vibration signals, with an added advantage of familiarity with structural health monitoring.
- Desirable practical expertise in utilizing data acquisition systems such as dSpace, NI modules, Siemens Scadas, and equipments such as modal shakers, accelerometers, etc.
- Proficient programming skills in Matlab/Python/LabVIEW.
- Demonstrated capability in independent research, exemplified by exceptional performance in the MSc thesis.
- Excellent proficiency in both spoken and written English, and knowledge of spoken Dutch would be advantageous for this purpose.
