**Key takeaways**:
- Hours- 38 - 40 hr.-
- Salary indication- Salary gross/monthly
based on full-time
- € 2,872 - € 3,670-
- Deadline- 31 Oct 2024As part of the Dutch National research program Aviation in Transition, the Production Technology group at the University of Twente has a PhD position on the simulation of a novel assembly technique for thermoplastic composites in a T-joint configuration.
**Background and challenge**
The VBO process shows significant potential for the cost
- and energy-efficient manufacturing of large structures, but still requires further development. A key challenge lies in the formation of defects, such as in-plane or out-of-plane waviness and shape distortions, which can arise during layup or consolidation. Currently, preventing these defects relies on time-consuming and expensive trial-and-error methods. To overcome this, we aim to develop advanced simulation tools that can predict defect formation early in the process, enabling more efficient process window development and tool design.
**Job description**
