Mechanical Engineering: Fully Funded PhD Scholarship: Development of an Automated Process for the Design and Manufacture of a Vehicle Body Part

2 months ago


Swansea, City and County of Swansea, United Kingdom Swansea University Full time

Funding providers: Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering and Edward Davies Commercials Ltd (MS-RT)

Subject areas: Engineering Design, Finite Element Analysis, CAD, CAM, AI

Project start date:

  • 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September) (home only)
  • 1 January 2025 (Enrolment open from mid-December) (international)

Supervisors:

  • Dr Will Newton )
  • Professor Cinzia Giannetti

Aligned programme of study: PhD in Mechanical Engineering

Mode of study: Full-time

Project description:

The project scope is to develop and automate the design and manufacture of vehicle body parts using the most advanced technology. Today the time we take to develop vehicle body parts is too long winded. Ordinarily the development and realisation of the design requires multiple iterations within CAD, FEA, and injection moulding software. Tooling and manufacturing of the moulds takes an extremely long time as they are CNC machined from block steel or aluminium and assembled.
