If you are a master student and would like
to do your master thesis, there is an opportunity to do it at Bosch in
Stuttgart, Germany. The grant will be given for 6 months and can be extended to
6 more months ( 6 months internship plus six months master thesis.)
For more information regarding the grant and
the position please see below job description or contact me.

Job description:
When a bi-material sample for the characterization of interfacial fracture toughness is manufactured, the sample is not usually stress-free at room temperature. If an interface between a metallic substrate and a polymeric adhesive is considered, there are essentially two sources of residual stresses for a dry sample at room temperature:
1- The mismatch between the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of adhesive and substrate induces a concave or convex warpage, depending on the CTE values of the two materials.

Hello every body,
As most of you know, fracture mechanics of polymer materials needs a special consideration of the viscoelastic material properties. Especially under thermomechanical loading the role of glass transition temperature T_g is very important. That is why people try to characterize the material with different methods including stress relaxation based on Time-Temperature superposition or DMA test.
