PhD Scholarships in Fatigue and Wear in Rolling and Sliding Contacts
Organization: Technical University Denmark
Location: Denmark
Field: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract:
PhD scholarships are available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of fatigue and wear in rolling and sliding contacts
Description:
PhD scholarships are available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of fatigue and wear in rolling and sliding contacts. One has focus on computational stress and damage modeling, while the other has focus on elastohydrodynamic lubricant film modelling and experimental verification. The department has well-established research activities in these fields and the present two scholarships are partly funded by the Danish Centre for Knowledge based Engineering for Improved Reliability of Critical Wind turbine Components (REWIND) supported by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation.
Project descriptions
Wind turbines are huge structures that are subjected to highly dynamic loads arising from the complex interplay between the varying wind field and wake from other turbines, the rotation of the rotor as well as the transmission and the electric generator in the drivetrain inside the nacelle. An important consequence of this is that most components in a wind turbine are experiencing highly dynamic loads resulting in wear or fatigue of the components.
