About the job

has a vacancy for a PhD Candidate in Structural Health Monitoring of Marine Structures. For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

This position will focus on the structural health monitoring of marine structures, including vessel hulls and floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) using the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM).

For this project, the candidate will start by developing an iFEM code for reconstructing the shape of simple steel structures (beams and plates).

After validating the iFEM code for simple structures, it will be further developed for shape sensing of a hull, first numerically and then experimentally using a full-scale vessel made available to us at NTNU for research activities.

After the model is validated for vessel hull SHM, it will be tested for a FOWT hull or tower numerically and possibly experimentally in a model test.

Additionally, there is an opportunity to further... More Detail
