PhD scholarship in Numerical and Experimental Study of the Acoustical-Mechanical Interaction at the Micro Scale including Losses

jobbeskrivelse:
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the Centre for Acoustic-Mechanical Microsystems (CAMM) which is a joint research centre between DTU Electrical Engineering and DTU Mechanical Engineering. The objective of CAMM is to increase the fundamental understanding of the factors that control the behaviour of acoustical and mechanical micro systems. The development and application of numerical tools is a relevant line of work towards this objective, together with optimization, micro-manufacturing and materials science. Responsibilities and tasks The PhD project aims at investigating small, highly coupled acoustical-mechanical devices containing details in the millimeter to micrometer scale, by the use of state-of-the-art numerical techniques that include losses. The project will involve: •Study of existing literature regarding the behavior of acoustic and mechanical waves with losses in the micro-scale and the coupling of mechanical and acoustic domains. •Systematic testing and development of numerical simulation and analysis tools that can model the behavior of the aforementioned small coupled devices with losses. This will include numerical methods based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and a combination of them. •Measurement of both simplified test setups and partial assemblies in order to verify and support numerical results. •Optimization of acoustical-mechanical systems in order to achieve specific performance objectives in terms of acoustical and mechanical transmission, or absorption of sound waves. Both topology and shape optimization methods will be utilized. The new numerical tools and the acquired knowledge will lead to the study of state-of the art techniques and their applicability to the class of devices and design problems at hand. Examples of subjects include acoustic/structural metamaterials, transducer impedance matching and narrow tubes designed as filters. Qualifications Candidates should have a MSc in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the MSc in engineering. Approval and Enrolment PhD scholarships are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general PhD programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Vicente Cutanda Henriquez and Associate Professor Niels Aage. We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD students. The period of employment is 3 years.
