Optimisation for the Computer Aided Design of 3D-Printed Microwave Components

申请被邀请为优化3D打印微波元件的计算机辅助设计的博士生。这项工作是帝国理工学院伦敦和空中客车集团之间的合作，将在帝国理工学院电气和电子工程系的光学和半导体器件组内进行。该学生将由帝国理工学院的Stepan Lucyszyn教授和空中客车集团的工业主管监督。该奖学金必须不迟于2018年10月1日开始。近年来，在飞机和航天器结构产品设计中使用优化技术取得了巨大的发展。至少在一定程度上，由于增材制造（AM）等新制造技术的能力及其以具有成本效益和及时的方式实现复杂设计的能力，在设计中使用其他形式的优化开始受到关注。虽然结构优化的应用，特别是与AM相结合的应用受到了行业的广泛关注，但多学科优化（MDO）在系统组件中的应用对未来产品的性能和成本节约具有最大的潜力。该项目将开发分析方法和主要工具，优化和制造用于飞机和航天器产品的下一代电磁系统，与空客技术和产品开发路线图保持一致。该项目与空中客车中央研究和技术中心合作，不仅旨在开发设计方法，而且还要通过在研制过程的各个阶段将这些设计纳入真实的飞行硬件中来验证这些设计。作为本项目的一部分，你将负责设计这些硬件并将其集成到真实的飞机和航天器上，并在其完成规定的使命时监控其有效性，将这些新系统的有效性与原型设计和数值模拟数据进行比较。此外，候选人将有机会直接在空中客车英国公司工作，与AM，设计，优化和分析领域的专家一起研究一系列主题和项目。研究将借鉴多个学科，包括但不限于电磁学，AM，航空航天设计，材料科学和优化。研究完成后，候选人将几乎是唯一精通通过尖端制造方法实现的飞机和航天器系统的MDO方法。

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in Optimisation for the Computer Aided Design of 3D-Printed Microwave Components. The work is a collaboration between Imperial College London and Airbus Group, and will be based within the Optical and Semiconductor Devices group in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College. The student will be supervised by Professor Stepan Lucyszyn from Imperial College, and by an industrial supervisor from Airbus Group. The studentship must start no later than 1 October 2018.The use of optimisation in the design of products for aircraft and spacecraft structures has seen dramatic developments in recent years. Spurred, at least in part, by the ability of new manufacturing techniques such as Additive Manufacturing (AM) and its ability to realise complex designs in a cost effective and timely manner, the use of other forms of optimisation in design is beginning to receive attention. Whilst applications of structural optimisation, particularly when paired with AM have received much attention from industry, it is the application of multi-disciplinary optimisation (MDO) to systems components which has the highest potential for performance and cost savings in future products.This project will develop the methods and primary tools for the analysis, optimisation and manufacture of next generation electromagnetic systems for aircraft and spacecraft products aligned to the Airbus Technology and product development roadmaps. Working in concert with Airbus Central Research and Technology, the project aims to not only develop the methods of design, but also to validate those designs through their inclusion in real flight hardware at various stages of the development process.As a part of this project you will be charged with the design and integration of this hardware onto real aircraft and spacecraft and will monitor its effectiveness as it completes its defined mission, comparing the effectiveness of these new systems to archetype designs and to numerical modelling data. In addition, the candidate will have the opportunity to work directly at Airbus UK alongside experts in the field of AM, Design, Optimization and Analysis on a range of topics and projects.The research will draw upon several disciplines including, but not limited to Electromagnetics, AM, Aerospace Design, Materials Science and Optimization. Upon completion of the research, the candidate will be almost uniquely versed in the methods for the MDO of aircraft and spacecraft systems realised through cutting edge manufacturing methods.
