This research focuses on Modelling, and Computational Material design of Composite materials.
Candidate will have a Masters Degree in computational solid mechanics with substantial experience in the
application and development of finite element code. Previous experience in applied mathematical modelling is essential.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Please contact Dr. Kumar Shanmugam(kshanmugam [at] masdar.ac.ae (kshanmugam[at]masdar[dot]ac[dot]ae)) for further enquiries.
Optimize your products
for weight, performance and eco-efficiency. This white paper will show
how you can benefit from simulation-based optimization technology to
improve your products, as well as your development process.
Learn about the optimization methods including
topology optimization, sizing optimization, shape optimization and bead
optimization.
An exciting short course on "Extremely deformable structures" will take place at the
International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) in Udine (Italy) from June 2nd to June 6th.
In this project, Simpleware's image processing and mesh generation software was used to complete an ancient geological process through new technology. The goal of the project was to create a pseudomorph, an object that maintains an original shape over time while changing its inner materiality.
Li-ion batteries for large-scale electrochemical storage systems: Fundamental studies, life-prediction and optimization
This project on Li-ion batteries will focus on experimental, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulation-based approaches aimed towards managing electro-chemo-mechanical degradation, capacity fade, and power loss. Moreover, thermal management and safety aspects will be looked at for life-prediction and optimization of Li-ion batteries.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Carbon Nano-Structured Materials for Aerospace Applications: From Characterization & Multi-scale Modelling to Product Realization- A Holistic Approach
This research focuses on engineering high-performance thermal barrier and protective coating systems through modelling its deposition processes, study its manufacturing, characterize its microstructure, to feed information into multi-scale constitutive models, multi-scale modelling of its microstructure evolution and Fracture (in service) as well as experimental aspects (including In-situ SEM testing at temperature) of thin and thick film coatings to predict the system-level performance of such coating systems.
This is a friendly reminder to draw your attention to the Symposium on **Soft Materials and Structures** to take place at the upcoming 51th Meeting of the Society of Engineering Sciences (SES) at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN (Oct 1-3, 2014).
