Researcher in Vehicle mechanics, Vibrations, and AI (MSP/24-05 GRiTA) (M/F/X)
Offer DescriptionIn the framework of the study GRiTA (Ground Vehicle Ride Quality Testing and Analysis with Complex Terrain) on the development of simulations and a prototype to analyze the ride quality on complex terrain, we are looking for a full-time researcher with a master’s degree in Applied sciences / Engineering / Physics and experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study can also lead to a PhD. The Royal Military Academy (RMA) is strongly committed to promoting diversity and gender equality. Therefore, women candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.ContextThe Royal Military Academy of Belgium (RMA) is a military institution responsible for the basic academic, military and physical training of future officers, and for the continuing advanced training of officers during their active career in the Belgian Defense department ( ). It is fully recognized as a university, fulfilling the same criteria as civilian universities. The Royal Military Academy is also conducting scientific research at university level for projects funded by the Belgian Defense department or external sources.You work within the research unit ‘Structures and Materials’ ( ) of the department of Mechanical Engineering of the Royal Military Academy and in close collaboration with the NATO AVT-380 group. You conduct scientific research at university level on a project entitled ‘GRiTA’.StudyThe project GRiTA is integrated to the NATO’s AVT-380 working group. The NATO’s AVT-380 is developing a new mobility analysis for wheeled vehicles. It is building on the “STANREC 4813” simulation structure to identify maneuver corridors for military vehicles. However, there is a need to improve methods to measure the topography and its impact on vehicle speed while considering ride quality. The project GRiTA aims to fill this gap by using its vibration analysis expertise on vehicle systems and developing a method that can measure the intricate response of vehicles in terms of ride quality.This involves two parallel developments:On one side, the design of terramechanic simulations will be used for comparison with available data. The project aims to examine how vehicle dynamics affect overall system mobility, as measured by speed-made-good metrics, when driving over 3D terrain. It also seeks to evaluate the impact of speed variations on ride quality to establish the necessary requirements for modeling data and validation tests.On the other side, the building and instrumentation of a prototype used to produce data. The gathered data’s will be connected to the simulation results, allowing to link the vehicle dynamics measurements with the ride quality metrics. In a later stage, machine learning could be used to better correlate experimental and simulation data.The challenges will reside in gathering data on multiple platforms, in a consistent way between the partners, and in identifying coinciding signal responses. However, performing vibration analysis will provide the research group a better monitoring on both the human’s and the vehicle’s health. In addition, it can help to optimize the machinery’s design by identifying the root cause of vibrations, and therefore, reduce the energy consumption and extend the equipment’s life.Main Tasks
