PhD Position Modeling and Monitoring of Fiber-reinforced Composite Ships Under Extreme Loads-
**_This PhD position deals with development of innovative modeling and monitoring methods for ship structures made of fiber-reinforced composites under extreme loads._**
Job description
Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) structural members offer significant potential for ships, including reduced weight, corrosion resistance, enhanced strength-to-weight ratio, optimized performance, noise and vibration reduction. These can lead to improved operational effectiveness, maintenance schemes, and crew comfort. Next to these advantages, utilization of composite materials for fast ocean-going vessels also requires addressing a number of outstanding challenges, e.g. operation under extreme loading and the effect on structural integrity. Slamming loads or greenwater loads, together referred to as (wave) impact loads, can induce heavily-stressed locations in the composite member through (often invisible) delamination, fiber breakage, matrix cracking, etc. leading to a reduced fatigue lifetime of the structure.
This project deals with an in-depth investigation of slamming loads on FRC hulls and superstructures. The study will focus on improved analysis and understanding of slamming loads, possibilities for monitoring these loads using on-board and/or embedded sensor systems, data-driven estimation of stress state in heavily-loaded areas due to slamming loads, and assessment of micro
- and macro-damage incurred to the structure under such
loading conditions that can affect the lifetime of the vessel. Collaboration with highly-recognized (industrial) partners and other PhD researchers involved in the program is envisaged.
**Requirements**:
- Fundamental knowledge and understanding about maritime structures in waves.
- Established expertise (e.g. through courses or research projects) in modeling and/or monitoring of maritime structures in waves.
- Familiarity with fiber-reinforced composite materials and structures.
- Good mathematical skills and experience in numercial methods for structures and/or fluids.
- Good programming skills (e.g. Matlab, Python).
