PhD studentship on Validation of crystal plasticity models in 3D policrystals at Portsmouth University (UK)
Fatigue life prediction in the aerospace components relies on fracture mechanics for relatively long cracks (>1mm). Nevertheless, most of the fatigue life is spent while the crack is relatively short (<1mm). However life of short cracks is far from well understood leading engineers to apply over conservative safety factors which involves environmental and economic losses. The material microstructure is responsible for the large life uncertainty in short cracks.

Development and application of a microstructure-based approach to characterize and model failure initiation in DP steels using XFEM
We develop a microstructure-based model to characterize and model failure initiation in DP steels using an extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate martensite cracking on the mesoscale combined with representative volume element (RVE) modeling. A mini tensile test with digital image correlation (DIC) analysis is linked to local SEM analysis to identify the local strain at which failure is initiated.
