Research Scholarships

Postgraduate scholarship in computational mechanics
Funding is provided for a student pursuing a Doctorate Degree to research the three-dimensional simulation of concrete structures until failure. This research will aim at developing a computational framework based on the discrete crack approach that can be efficiently used in engineering. Applicants must have a good degree in engineering and be interested in structural engineering, computational and fracture mechanics, and preference will be given to the applicants with relevant experience in computational mechanics, fracture mechanics, and development of formulations for simulating the behaviour of brittle and quasi-brittle materials. Funding is valued at the APA rate ($26,288 per annum tax exempt) for up to 3 years.
