This Biology Scholarship project aims to identify the critical aspects of behavior control layer and property and to allow prediction of endurance in the service layer. More specifically it will focus on the definition of failure criteria for the creation and growth of cracks, and the identification of failure mechanisms in static and cyclic load conditions.
This Biology Scholarship research would both experimental and theoretical model development. Experimental work will combine both diagnostic tests and novel materials was established with the support of state-of-the-art Digital Image Correlation system. The successful applicant will have access to finite element modeling for the development of numerical models of the substrate / coating interaction.
This Biology Scholarship study will be among the first systematic study into the factors controlling the resistance of coating and therefore there are significant opportunities for successful applicants to achieve publication success. This position will be based on the campus of Cranfield University in Bedfordshire, with a period seconded to the sponsoring organization to interact with researchers and use of equipment at their locations in Newcastle.
