Processus de candidature
- It can be deployed through conventional casting for standard applications and through 3D printing for complex or non-planar geometries.
- In parallel, circular end-of-life strategies will recover fibres, upcycle fines into new low-carbon constituents, and enable structural reuse.
- The project comprises 11 partners across the globe, including partners from Europe, Canada and Japan Your tasks
- The tasks of the PhD at ETHZ and Empa within the framework of SURPASS are as follows:
- Volumetric prestressing of cast and 3D-printable SURPASS overlays using Fe-SMA fibres.
- Meso-scale finite element modelling of volumetric prestressing mechanisms with Fe-SMA fibres, including activation, recovery stress, prestress transfer, and reactivation.
- Structural-scale simulation of SURPASS overlays in strengthened members, including parametric finite element analyses for surrogate-model development and digital-twin support.
- Large-scale experimental assessment of volumetrically prestressed SURPASS overlays for non-planar structures, including representative applications such as tunnel linings, arch intrados, and curved bridge soffits.
