Revolutionize Rotating Machine Design Through Cutting-Edge Research

The University of Nottingham's Mechanical and Aerospace Systems research group seeks a highly motivated PhD student to delve into the intricate world of rotor-stator interactions within bearings. This exciting opportunity offers a chance to contribute to a field vital to numerous industries, from aerospace and renewable energy to oil and gas.

The Challenge: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Reality

Rolling-element bearings are indispensable components in rotating machines, influencing performance, reliability, and overall efficiency. While existing models often rely on simplified assumptions, real-world applications demand a more comprehensive understanding of their dynamic behavior. This research aims to develop a novel representation of bearings that accurately captures their complex interactions with rotors, paving the way for improved diagnostics and design optimization.

Your Role: Shaping the Future of Bearing Technology

As a PhD student, you will:

  • Investigate advanced modeling techniques to represent bearing dynamics in complex multi-rotor systems.
  • Develop and validate innovative methods for characterizing bearing performance under dynamic loading conditions.
  • Collaborate with leading experts from both academia and industry, including Rolls-Royce plc.
  • Contribute to the advancement of knowledge through publications and presentations at international conferences.

The Opportunity: A World-Class Research Environment

This Industrial CASE studentship offers a unique opportunity to work within a renowned research group with a strong track record in gas turbine transmission systems. You will benefit from:

  • A comprehensive stipend and tuition fee coverage.
  • Access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources.
  • Mentorship from experienced researchers and industry professionals.
  • The chance to make a tangible impact on the field of rotating machinery design.
