Study Area: Computational Modelling of Stochastic Fracture
Scholarship Description: The PhD project focuses on investigating stochastic fracture behavior through micromechanical-based studies. The primary objective is to develop predictive microstructure-based models for plastic flow and fracture in metal materials with statistically varying mechanical properties. The research involves numerical modelling, simulations, and potential physical experiments.
Eligibility:

- Strong academic background with an average grade equal to B or better.
- Admission to the faculty’s doctoral program.
- Fluent in spoken and written English.
- Competence in solid mechanics and finite element analysis.
Required Documents:
- CV and certificates
- Transcripts and diplomas for bachelor’s and master’s degrees
- Confirmation of master’s thesis submission if not completed
- Name and contact information of three referees
- Publications or other relevant research work
- Documentation of education taken abroad
- Description of joint work efforts if applicable
