02
Multi-physics modelling of smart FRP composites with integrated FBG and TFBG sensors
In this project, the DC will develop multi-physics numerical 3D FEM simulations to analyse the performance of single mode FBGs/TFBGs and their interaction with the surrounding FRP composite for SHM of wind turbine blades.

03
SHM of aged FRP wind turbine blades for damage assessment and lifetime prediction
The aim of this PhD project is to analyse the effects of material ageing in FRP composites and to investigate new ultrasonic SHM systems based on sparse arrays of PZT transducers for damage assessment and RUL prediction.

05
ML vibration-based algorithms for damage diagnosis of smart FRP structures
The objective of this DC is to develop and assess ML data-driven random-vibration-based methods for robust and population-wide SHM of smart CFRP composite structures under uncertainty (material, manufacturing) and varying EOCs.

07
Self-sensing smart FRP composites using CNT-doped thermoplastic materials
CNTs combine mechanical properties, electrical and thermal conductivity, with the potential for increased integration of functions (e.g., sensing, electromagnetic, electrical conductivity) into structural FRP components without the need of actuator devices.
