PhD Studentship: The role of fabric anisotropy on cyclic loading of offshore soils: a grain-scale investigation

Renewable offshore wind energy plays a critical role on meeting net zero targets, which leads to the need for novel design and construction solutions for offshore wind structures that are subjected to dynamic loading conditions (wind, waves, earthquakes, tsunamis) in the harsh offshore environment. Those loads are transferred to the marine soil deposits...

With the expansion of offshore wind comes the unavoidable question of what happens when we no longer need the foundations? So that we may minimise long term liability, and operate in a sustainable manner, a cradle to grave approach needs to be considered – one that reaches right back to the development of systems that allow for both maximum performance...

Description: A fully funded 4-year PhD studentship is available to a start in September 2024 within the new research group of Dr Jemma Gibbard ) at Durham University (Chemistry Department). Most chemistry is assumed to occur under thermal control. However, when a bond breaks, energy is released causing the products of the reaction to recoil from each other....

Floating wind offers the possibility of opening up energy resource in deeper water than feasible with fixed solutions (e.g. monopiles or jackets) which become impractical in water depths over 45m for monopiles and 80m for jackets. While the UK may have sufficient potential capacity in water depths suitable for fixed wind there are large parts of the world...
