The Materials and Failure Modeling Department is seeking a highly motivated individual to join our diverse and inclusive team and contribute to ongoing computational solid mechanics research, development, and analysis.
On any given day, you will have the opportunity to:
Shifting from macroscopic to microscopic plasticity helps us understand mechanisms that can help us develop high-strength metallic materials. Things that prevent dislocation dynamics or generation, such as other dislocations and grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials, lead to higher strength.
