PhD scholarship in cutting force modelling and error compensation in large structures machining

jobbeskrivelse:
Introduction The Department of Mechanical Engineering (MEK) of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has an open PhD position in the field of cutting force modelling and error compensation in large structures machining. The PhD will be working on the project “Large Scale Component Flexible Machining Cell (INNOMILL)” which is co-funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, Global Castings A/S, CNC Onsite ApS, Bila A/S, DAMRC F.M.B.A., Aarhus University and DTU Mechanical Engineering. The project will be carried out in an exciting combination of academic and industrial environments. Responsibilities and tasks The PhD project will focus on the development and validation of a model for anticipated calculation of cutting forces and process heat generation applicable to the specific conditions encountered in large structures machining. Using the model estimations, machined profile errors will be calculated along the tool path as a consequence of part, tool and machine tool deformations in order to implement error compensation. The developed model shall be validated experimentally both in the research laboratory and in an industrial setting. The position encompasses both theoretical work related to model development and implementation and experimental work on model validation through machining tests, process monitoring and dimensional, geometrical and surface characterization of machined profiles. Sensors selection and implementation, data acquisition and signal conditioning will be part of the experimental activities of the PhD project. The position has both project and academic responsibilities. The scientific development work conducted must be positioned relative to current literature and published in conference and journal articles. Qualifications Candidates should have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering. Good knowledge of production engineering technologies and machine tools is a fundamental requirement. Knowledge of process monitoring, manufacturing metrology, CAD/CAM and programming tools such as Matlab will be desirable. The candidate should have good mathematical/analytical skills as well as good communication skills. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Giuliano Bissacco according to the qualification requirements stated above. We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years. The position is funded on the Innovationsfond project “Large Scale Component Flexible Machining Cell” and is subject to the successful conclusion of the project contract negotiation.
