About the position

We have a vacancy for a postdoctoral in Multibody Dynamic Modelling & Digital Twin Developement for Marine Drivetrains: Numerical & Experimental Studiesat Department of Marine Technology.

 

The position reports to Associate Professor Amir Nejad, Amir.Nejad (at) ntnu.no

Job abstractJV_description

• The main objective of this project is to develop a digital twin system for condition monitoring and remaining life prediction of a propulsion system drive line. The main challenges are modelling the physical failure mechanisms in a way that the models predict, with reasonable uncertainties, the remaining useful life (RUL) of the components. This project addresses these challenges through a digital twin condition and health monitoring platform.

• Digital Twin technologies are arguably the most comprehensive solution for predictive asset maintenance. These technologies develop a virtual replica of any relevant component of the drive line generated by means of physical dynamics modelling and first principles, which are continuously updated using reliable sensor data coming from the real-life physical system. As a result, by means of the digital twin of the asset, engineers are able to evaluate any physical value of interest related to any potential fault using data coming from sensors mounted on the machine.

• The project will take advantage of the drivetrain test rig designed and constructed at Marine Drivetrain Research Lab (MD Lab https://www.ntnu.edu/imt/lab/md-lab) at IMT.

• The Postdoctoral position will mainly focus on the multibody dynamic modelling of the drive line system with validation at lab.
