Postdoctoral Two Fellowships: Automated Damage Localization Systems for Civil Engineering Structures: Application to Cracking in Prestressed Concrete, 2 @ Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB),Belgium- Subject: Mechanical or Civil engineering

Description: This project deals with the next level of SHM which is damage localization and focuses on the problem of cracking in prestressed concrete. The goal of vibration based structural health monitoring (SHM) is to replace costly inspection campaigns by real-time instrumentation and automated data processing in order to estimate the current state of health and the remaining lifetime of structures.The challenge is to design a data-based damage localization system based on output-only ambient vibrations.
Elligibility : The candidates should hold a PhD in Mechanical or Civil engineering and should not have been working previously in Belgium. For the first position, experience in numerical modeling preferably in the field of non-linear mechanics or vibrations is necessary. For the second position, experience in experimental vibration testing and instrumentation is required.
