PhD Multiscale Multiphysics Modeling Of Instability&Fracture in Canvas Paintings
Eindhoven University of Technology
Job descriptionThis position is part of the research project VANGOGH (Unravelling and predicting degradation of canvas paintings: a multiscale and multiphysics framework), which is funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant). We are building a team of talented and enthusiastic researchers to work on this exciting multidisciplinary research program.The context: Traditional canvas paintings represent an inestimable cultural legacy. At the same time, however, from an engineering perspective, canvas paintings are heterogeneous, multiscale systems subjected to complex loading conditions triggered by the interaction between multiple physical fields. This complicated scenario may result in different degradation mechanisms, including wrinkling of the painting surface, cracking, delamination, and paint flaking, which crucially affect the appearance, integrity, and longevity of the artwork.The main objectives of the project are as follows:
The successful candidate will work in the chair of Applied Mechanics, Department of the Built Environment. The chair of Applied Mechanics is responsible for education and research in the field of mechanics, working on multiscale, multi-physics and optimization problems related to the built environment. The chair is a member of the Graduate School of Engineering Mechanics, Netherlands. This graduate school offers PhD students an advanced training program in engineering mechanics, the core of which is a joint series of advanced graduate courses closely connected to state-of-the-art research themes.The successful candidate will interact closely with other PhD students (numerical and experimental) who work on other aspects of the degradation response of cultural heritage materials.The project is embedded within NICAS (Netherlands Institute for Conservation, Art and Science) and received the support of important national and international museums and cultural heritage institutions (for instance, the Rijksmuseum NL).Job requirements
