A fully funded PhD studentship is available, the aim of the project is to design, manufacture and test a range of lattices on the micron to millimetre scale. There is scope for predicting the mechanical response such as strength, toughness and fatigue resistance of two inter-penetrating lattices with application to automotive crash resistance, for example.
Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) a 1st class degree (and preferably a Masters degree) from an Engineering or Materials background.
