The project will investigate the manufacturing behaviour and engineering performance of renewable composite materials under industrially relevant processing environments. The research focuses on understanding how processing conditions influence material behaviour, structural integrity, manufacturability, and long-term engineering performance in next-generation sustainable composite systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aim <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To characterise transient thermo-mechanical processing environments on product functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objectives <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mathematically model and validate processing environments using laboratory level prototypes employing thermo-mechanical processing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Significance <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mechanical properties of materials are significantly affected due to processing environments in a significant way. This work will address sustainable manufacturing, advanced materials engineering, and low-emission processing of materials to develop innovative manufacturing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ideal Candidate <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First Class graduates in a Bachelor degree in Mechanical\/Chemical Engineering, or Mathematics, who have a high motivation for PhD. Additionally, the applicants should meet the eligibility criteria for entry into a PhD program at Curtin University.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project is open to International and Domestic applicants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Internship <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this project you will also have an internship opportunity.\u00a0The supervisory team will aim to organise suitable internship opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scholarship <\/p>\n\n\n\n
