Doctoral studentship
The Centre for Doctoral Training Science and Engineering in Arts,
    Heritage and Archaeology at UCL, University of Oxford and
    University of Brighton

"Strain modelling in historical tapestries"

This project, co-funded by Historic Royal Palaces and developed in
collaboration with IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, this studentship
will investigate cutting edge real-time in-situ tri-axial strain
monitoring sensors to provide data to inform analytical modelling of
tapestries using Finite Elements and explicit mathematical
formulations together with modern Dynamic Equilibrium methods used
in fabric simulations.  The project will be jointly supervised by
the UCL Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering,
UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces and
IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.

Based at: UCL Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic
Engineering

Academic supervisor: Prof Dina D'Ayala

Application deadline: open until filled.
