Offer Description
In the high-tech and semiconductor equipment industry, each next generation of systems must meet more stringent demands in terms of speed, accuracy, efficiency and reliability. Moreover, the operation of such equipment involves multiple disciplines: structural dynamic and thermal performance as well as control aspects must be considered, which makes the design process very challenging. For this reason, this project aims at developing advanced computational design approaches for high-tech applications. This involves building on techniques for advanced component design such as topology optimization, and extending these by accounting for multi-disciplinary aspects such as controller-structure interaction, thermomechanical coupling and other dynamic effects. Moreover, this project aims to also include system-level architectural design choices into the computational design process. Think of the placement and sizing of actuators, sensors or cooling channels. This opens the door to the design of advanced systems that exploit oversensing and overactuation to reach unprecedented performance levels. This project forms part of the ‘NextGen HighTech’ programme and involves multiple prominent high-tech companies. Next to design method development, realization of a hardware demonstrator also forms part of the project.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
- An MSc degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent), obtained within the last 4 years.
