Overview
Investigation of aircraft tyre fatigue failure and design optimisation
Queen Mary, University of London - School of Engineering and Materials Science
Aircraft tyres are subjected to very demanding requirements. For example on an Airbus 380 they must be able to support loads up to 33 tonnes each, must be able to travel at over 250km/h as well as withstand huge slip under taxiing conditions. They must also be lightweight and failsafe. This project working with Dunlop Aircraft Tyres aims to investigate the typical tearing fatigue failure modes in a range of tyres, so that a more competitive and robust design can be achieved.
Value of this studentship
The studentship arrangement will cover tuition fees and provide an annual maintenance grant at research council rates, starting at £15,290 per year (including London weighting) for up to three years.
Eligibility Requirements
The minimum requirement for entry to a research programme is a good Honours degree (or equivalent) or MSc/MRes in a relevant discipline.
The applicant must be available to start the research degree as soon as possible, by the 1st March 2010.
Closing Date: 1st February 2010
