We have a PhD position at the Technical University of Denmark. The position is in the area of mechanics of materials, with applications to wind energy and composite materials. The position is for 3 years, starting in Spring 2025. The salary is of the order of 4.500 EUR (minus taxes). The campus is located in Roskilde, 30 km from Copenhagen.

The project will include computational modelling (finite elements) of extra-large wind turbine blades, and numerical analysis of the blade failure mechanisms.

PhD Scholarship for 3 years, in Technical University of Denmark, in Roskilde (30 km from Danish capital, Copenhagen). 

Deadline for application: November 10.

Start of work: between March and May 2025.

Your background: Master degree in Mechanics, Materials science or related topics. Knowledge of finite element modelling, strength of materials, Abaqus, and programmingh languages, preferably Python (numpy). Demonstrated experience in preparing scientific publications is an advantage. 

Technical University of Denmark, Risø Campus (30 km from Copenhagen): New vacant postdoc position for 1 years (extension is possible). LinK: https://efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/… You are expected to have a PhD, good knowledge of mechanics of materials, computational micromechanics, finite element simulations (ABAQUS) as well as programming in a higher-level language (Python, including Numpy package).

Recyclability of composite blades is an important requirement for future wind turbines. There exist a number of solutions for the recycling of wind turbine blades. How to compare and optimize various composite recycling technologies? How to ensure efficiency of technology and quality of products? This will be a task for new postdoc at DTU Wind.

Postdoctoral position in Computational modelling of life extension and maintenance of composite blades of wind turbines, at DTU Wind.

Wind turbines are decommissioned after 20...25 years of service. However, blades can be potentially exploited for 50 or more years. How to predict and extend the lifetime of wind turbine blades? How to optimize repair of blades, to ensure their extended lifetime?

Postdoc position is available at DTU Wind Energy, the Section for Composite Mechanics and Structures.
The position is in the framework of Innovation Foundation project “DURALEDGE/ Durable leading edges for high tip speed wind turbine blades".
