About the Role

We are seeking a full-time Research Fellow in Large Scale Static & Dynamic Testing to join the Advanced Vehicle Engineering Centre at the School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing. This post is funded as part of a large project with a major Aerospace manufacturer.

You will join a team at Cranfield working on the implementation of full-scale testing of landing gear components. The work will involve the implementation of numerical models to design the interfaces to carry out the static and dynamic testing as well as the numerical model to predict failure modes in aircraft tyres subjected to extreme loading conditions.

Your work will involve the design and construction of large-scale experiments to predict dynamic response of component and develop numerical models to predict the observed failures with strain rate effects. The simulation work of the tyre failure also involve validation for which you will need to design the experimental setup (including sensors and acquisition system) and perform the tests.

About You

You will be educated to doctoral level (or very close to completion of your PhD) in a relevant subject and have experience in the implementation of experimental setup for large scale testing and good knowledge of finite element simulation. You are passionate about dynamic testing and fracture mechanics and an experienced user of finite element modelling and the implementation of innovative simulation approaches to predict dynamic response of complex systems under impulse loading.

About Us
