[UK 2011] PhD Studentship for International Students in Mechanics of Shaving at University of Cambridge
Eligibility:
- Applicants must have a strong first degree in a relevant discipline such as engineering (mechanical, bio-medical etc.), materials science, or physics. The studentship will provide maintenance and covers approved College and University fees for UK/EU or overseas student for 3 years. The start date of the project is 5 January 2012.
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
Scholarship Description: A position exists for a PhD research student to develop a fundamental understanding of the mechanics of shaving of facial hair. The project is funded by Procter & Gamble via their subsidiary Gillete. Gillette have developed instrumentation capability to characterise the mechanical response of hair during shaving. The broad aim of the research is to extend the capability through further characterisation of the mechanical aspects of shaving. Further characterisation will enhance model fidelity of predictive simulation of the shaving process. The PhD project will focus on understanding the mechanical interactions typical of wet shaving. The project will be a combination of experimental and theoretical research. Parts of the experimental work will be performed at Gillette and involve developing an in-vitro model and collecting key data that will be used to develop a constitutive model. The constitutive model will be incorporated into a commercial finite element package such as ABAQUS for use in virtual shaving stroke simulations.
