Project idea
The electric motors are generating a completely different noise signature than the corresponding combustion engine equivalent. Strong tones related to the rotation speed and the number of poles are still very important in the high frequency part, leading to a different challenge is terms of noise simulations. The noise is related to electromagnetic fluctuations and vibrations in rotating and static parts. Several complex mechanisms like rotor dynamics, electromagnetic fluctuations, projection of the electromagnetic forces on structure meshes have a major impact and needs to be addressed during the design. These aspects are difficult to be differentiated in experiments whereas simulation provide a better access to the different contributions. The objective of this proposal is to use numerical investigations on radial and axial motors to devise new methods and numerical process including the noise contribution in eMotor designs.
Offer Requirements
Engineering degree and Ph.D. in Mechanics, Aeronautics, Applied mathematics, or similar fields. Knowledge in acoustic modeling or computational fluid dynamics, and software development.
Institute description
Design and Engineering (D&E) business unit of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence group several leading entities like MSC Software, Forming Technologies (FTI), e-Xstream engineering, Free Field Technologies (FFT), Simufact engineering, Romax and Cradle. It develops state-of-the art products like Digimat, Marc, Actran, Simufact, ScFlow, Nastran, MaterialCenter, Apex, Romax Nexus. These products foundations are advanced numerical methods, physics-based or data-driven multi-physical models, and efficient algorithmic for HPC.
D&E is made of several center of excellence focusing on Acoustics, Materials, Structures, Fluid dynamics, System dynamics, Virtual Manufacturing & costing. Through e-Xstream engineering SARL D&E has offices in Luxembourg but also in various countries in the world via other legal entities.
About Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship
The MSCA PF are postdoctoral fellowships, financed through the European Commission for 2 year positions, covering salary and research costs of the researchers, who can come from anywhere in the world. The evaluation process of these programmes is more about the project and the career development of the candidate, than his/her publication record. The organizations in Luxembourg that want to host such talented researchers include large public research organizations as well as private companies that offer interesting job perspectives after completion of the fellowship.
Minimal eligibility criteria
- Individual: applicant applies together with host institute
- PhD at the deadline (PhD date cannot be more than 8 years ago)
- Not working or living in Luxembourg for longer than 12 months before the call deadline
- For rules see here or contact your NCP
