The University of Bristol is seeking an interdisciplinary researcher in Nonlinear Aeroelasticity for an industrially funded project. You will develop mathematical models and conduct experimental validations, working closely with industry partners and presenting findings. This role is ideal for proactive researchers with a passion for innovation.
The role
We are seeking a motivated interdisciplinary researcher to join the University of Bristol, as part of an industrially funded project in the field of Nonlinear Aeroelasticity. This exciting role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research to obtain methodologies, tools and processes for nonlinear aeroelastic stability analysis used for novel design and certification purposes.
The research aims at developing experimentally validated models for nonlinear aeroelastic systems in the presence of freeplay. The work will involve developing mathematical models to describe the nonlinear dynamics of two experimental aeroelastic rigs and conducting numerical and experimental bifurcation analysis to explore their nonlinear behaviour. The research will also involve conducting wind tunnel testing at the University of Bristol wind tunnel laboratory.
The successful candidate will work closely with the industrial partner and with another researcher working on the experimental side of the project. This position is ideal for researchers with a passion for innovation and an interest in developing and leading novel numerical and experimental test campaigns within an academic or industrial setting.
