PhD positions in Structural Health Monitoring of Welded Thermoplastic Composite Assemblies

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Plusieurs pays européens

Thermoplastic composites are widely regarded as promising materials for the next generation of commercial aircraft, combining excellent mechanical performance with low weight. In addition, their melt-processable matrix enables automated, high-rate manufacturing of components that can subsequently be assembled into complex aerostructures using welding. This provides significant opportunities for more efficient and cost-effective aircraft manufacturing. However, welded composite assemblies are challenging to inspect using conventional non-destructive inspection techniques. As a result, larger safety margins are often required in structural design, leading to heavier structures, while maintenance intervals may be more conservative than necessary. Developing reliable methods to continuously as
