Physics-based and data-enriched modelling and analysis of wind turbine & automotive gearboxes

Updated: over 1 year ago
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 31 Jan 2023

The objective of this PhD trajectory is to develop, validate and exploit advanced numerical tools for the analysis of wind turbine and automotive gearboxes that are tailored towards the needs and requirements of Industry 4.0 and beyond. Applications of these numerical tools in Industry 4.0 include virtual prototyping of novel gearbox and drivetrain concepts and digital twin related activities such as virtual sensing / monitoring of difficult to measure gearbox characteristics . As a PhD researcher, you will use novel insights in the fields of physics-based modelling to develop and validate accurate and efficient gearbox analysis tools, starting from a library of computational tools available at the hosting research group.Throughout the entire PhD trajectory, a close link with top industry companies in the field will be maintained in order to validate and exploit the newly developed tools and applications in an industrial context.
