Job Description
This research position focuses on developing a novel approach for monitoring the integrity of buried pipelines, particularly non-metallic or composite ones, to detect minute defects. The proposed method involves deploying a distributed network of sensors integrated into the pipeline's composite structure to continuously monitor its deflection profile. The role will include developing theoretical equations based on finite element theory to govern the dynamic interactions between the pipeline and surrounding soil, streamlining deflection monitoring and defect localization. The successful candidate will contribute to optimizing sensor network parameters, building and testing experimental prototypes of defective and buried pipelines, and verifying theoretical predictions through experimentation. The goal is to accurately identify defect locations and extents using "structural power flow" as a reliable indicator. This position also involves tasks related to transferring the developed technology to an industrial sponsor.
- A bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field is required.
- The candidate should have demonstrated experience or a strong interest in structural analysis, sensing technologies, and potentially finite element analysis.
- Knowledge of a any programming language (eg: Matlab, .)
