Offer Description
The PhD position will be in the Section of Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics and is part of a multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the DeepNL research initiative Call 2b (DeepNL ).
As a PhD candidate you will be affiliated to the Section of Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics; however, you will mainly work in the Section of Dynamics of Solids and Structures within the same faculty. You will estimate the (shear) modulus reduction and damping ratio increase (MRDI) curves from geotechnical resonant column experiments on soil samples, using models that account for nonlinear wave propagation phenomena. Such models enable predicting the typical skewness of the frequency response curve due to softening as well as superharmonic resonances. Furthermore, a new algorithm will be designed to assign realistic spatial variability to the MRDI curves. The final goal is to facilitate a more realistic earthquake site-response analysis through incorporation of 3D heterogeneities in soils. You will interact closely with another PhD candidate to achieve this goal. See our other vacancy as well {insert name/link other phd vacancy}
