Job Description

This project aims to investigate the performance of cementitious materials and 3D printed concrete against ballistic and blast loadings. The researcher will be required to cast and fabricate the various cementitious materials and 3D printed concrete, prepare the logistics and perform the relevant ballistic and blast tests. He/she will also be required to set up the numerical models in commercial FE software (e.g. LS Dyna), validated against experimental data, to understand the mechanisms in resisting the high impact loadings for the various cementitious materials.

Job Requirements

The research fellow should have a PhD degree in a relevant field, with experience in the following areas:

• 3D concrete printing
• Laboratory ballistic tests
• Design of blast tests for concrete specimens
• FE simulations of blast loading on concrete structures.

-Strong written and spoken communications and able to present results.
-Open to fixed-term contract.
