Postdoctoral and Doctoral Researchers- Mechanical Dynamics &Vibrations

Available Research Staff (Senior Research Fellow- leading to PhD, and PostDoctoral) positions at IIT Palakkad

Area:

Essential: Mechanical Dynamics and Vibrations

Desired: Rotor-dynamics- experimental and Simulation

Background and details of the research activities:

The project work involves modeling and simulation of bolted rotor joints in a typical gas turbine rotor (hollow cylindrical/conical). The work will address a variety of nonlinearities expected in the built-up rotor bearing system supported on rolling element bearings. Matlab simulations on the FE framework and experimental modal analysis are part of the research activities. Nonlinear rotor vibration analysis is the main objective.

If you have expertise/exposure to one or both these activities or strong interest in these topics, please contact with your CV.

Qualifications

Requirement: Knowledge of and interest in dynamics, vibrations, rotor dynamics, Finite element. Exposure to Matlab coding and experimentation desired

Salary: The research project is funded by DRDO. Salaries for SRF will be MORE than Ministry of Education funded PhD stipend.

Positions:

a) Post-doctoral fellow (Ph.D. in relevant areas of vibrations/dynamics) and

b) Doctoral student (GATE qualified B.Tech./M.Tech. in Mechanical/Aerospace/Similar with good academic background).

Positions are available for immediate joining.
