An electroelastic Kirchhoff rod theory incorporating free space electric energy

Submitted by Ajeet Kumar on

This work presents a geometrically exact Kirchhoff-like electroelastic rod theory wherein the contribution of free space energy is also factored in. In addition to the usual mechanical variables such as the rod's centerline and cross-section orientation, three electric potential parameters are also introduced to account for the variation in electric potential within the rod's cross-section as well as along the rod length. The free space energy is included through an electric flux-like variable acting on the lateral surface of the rod.

PhD position in design and optimisation of additively manufactured lightweight aerospace structures at University of Canterbury, New Zealand

Submitted by Stephen_Daynes on

Additive manufacturing is an exciting technology that seeing accelerated industry adoption. At the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Canterbury we have established a modern 3D facility that is well equipped with printers and 3D scanning equipment. Although additive manufacture is finding applications in many industries, its full potential will be unrealised if parts are not optimised to take advantage of the new design freedoms available.
