PhD Research Project - Multiscale mechanical modeling of metals

Job Details

The candidate will develop computational models of the mechanical response and fracture of complex microstructures in superalloysfor aeronautical components. Activities will be carried out within the Multiscale Materials Modeling group. Developments will be based on crystal plasticity theory to model the behavior at the single grain/dendrite level, and computational homogenization to expand the simulation to the scale of the heterogeneous polycrystalline microstructure, in particular combining finite elements and Fourier transform-based numerical approaches.

The research will be part of a collaborative project, coordinated by a world-leading aerospace company, which will involve other PhD theses and postdoctoral projects on different aspects of advanced manufacturing of aeronautical superalloys. Close interactions with industrial partners will ensure that the research meets industrial standards. Joint experimental activities within the Micro- and Nano-Mechanics group at IMDEA will provide the researcher with extensive experimental data to validate computational developments.

The candidate will learn advanced concepts in materials modeling, nonlinear computational mechanics, crystal plasticity, finite elements, FFT solvers, aeronautical superalloys, and gain hands-on experience in scientific programming for multi-scale and multi-physics modeling.

The candidate will get experience in a technological field with high employability
