Nazwa stanowiska: Stypendysta/tka - student/tka
Wymagania:

We are looking for a talented MSc student interested in continuing their scientific work and possibly pursuing a doctoral dissertation in the future.

The main objective of the project is the design, development and analysis of a complete non-contact laser ultrasonic system for narrowband selective Lamb wave mode generation.

Such systems are advantageous for the non-destructive evaluation of structures in comparison to other contact methods, such as ultrasonic testing, which requires a coupling gel. It is also very flexible and allows the selective Lamb wave modes generation, which is not possible with a conventional setup of point-wise pulsed laser excitation and scanning laser Doppler vibrometer sensing. It opens up a new avenue in research for potential improvement in the damage identification of structures. In particular, wavefield imaging based on nonlinear guided waves combined with laser patterns for Lamb wave generation, such as the Archimedean spiral or concentric rings proposed in this project, has not been explored so far. The hypothesis is that such an approach will allow us to detect and identify damage earlier than by using point-wise laser excitation and wavefield imaging based on linear guided waves. It is also anticipated that by using full wavefield measurements and advanced modelling techniques, we will be able to better understand the damage-induced generation of nonlinear guided waves.
Qualifications

• Proficiency in written and oral English
• Relevant study enrollment (mechanics, mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or related field): student status
• Mobility and flexibility for conferences (up to twice a year).
We especially seek candidates who:
• possess knowledge about laser equipment,
• have programming skills,
• can write code in MATLAB language.
Additional assets are certificates related to the knowledge and experience in electromagnetic wave propagation, laser optics and finite element method.
In addition, the following will be assessed:
• the candidates' scientific track record,
• the prizes and distinctions of the candidate resulting from the research carried out.

Opis zadań:

The role of the student in this project is modelling and simulation of the laser intensity distribution, point-wise pulse laser excitation analysis, and laser-pattern excitation analysis; analysis of thermo-elastic wave generation efficiency in metallic plates; assistance in experimental set preparation and measurements; and journal paper preparation.
