Novel Fibre Reinforced Polymer–Steel–Concrete Transition Structures for Offshore Wind Turbines (FRESCO) is a new research project funded by the Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy Hub. It aims to develop a novel glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP)–steel–concrete tower‑to‑monopile transition structure for offshore wind turbines, with a focus on improving structural efficiency, durability, and ease of installation.
Responsibilities
* Develop advanced numerical models of the transition system.
* Test a scaled prototype structure to demonstrate proof of concept.
* Lead technical activities related to modelling and experimental testing, including design of test programmes and interpretation of results.
* Analyse and synthesize findings, contribute to design recommendations, and disseminate outcomes through publications and engagement with industry stakeholders and events.
Qualifications
* PhD in Structural Engineering or equivalent professional qualifications.
* Experience with computational modelling and experimental testing.
* Work toward or near the completion of a relevant PhD qualification (for Research Fellow positions).
