The Swansea University ESPRC Scholarship covers the full cost of tuition fees and an annual stipend at £19,237 for four years.
Airbus’ Structures Test department is interested in continuously developing and refining an understanding of how materials and components behave when exposed to the cryogenic temperatures required to store hydrogen in its liquid form.
The existing methods for instrumenting specimens for tests conducted at cryogenic temperatures are limited.
The project will aim to develop novel approaches to enable the use of DIC during cryogenic mechanical testing and significantly advance the current instrumentation capabilities in preparation for testing the next generation aircraft.
