Internship/Studentship position:

1-Adhesion phenomena across interfaces with spatially heterogeneous adhesive properties 
2-Mechanical properties of new integrated flexible electronics based on RGO doped thermoplastics
3-Application of full field measurement to the identification of composite materials

 The Composite and Heterogeneous Material Analysis and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS) is located at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and forms part of the Physical Science and Engineering Division. COHMAS develops and validates techniques to achieve the better design of composite materials based structures. 

 

Adhesion phenomena across interfaces with spatially heterogeneous adhesive properties 



A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to adhesion phenomena across interfaces with spatially heterogeneous adhesive properties. The project aims to explore the effect of heterogeneities on the mechanical behavior of bonded interfaces through integrated experiments and simulations. The research seeks to systematically design multiple sites of potential crack pinning across the interface, able to trigger sequential events of initiation, propagation and crack arrest, thus promoting macroscopic variations of strength and toughness. Inspiration in the search for such novel material configurations is derived from those observed in nature. Successful design of these bio-inspired interfaces can lead to quite interesting technological applications in aerospace, electronics, construction and solar industries. Prospective candidate students will be exposed to a truly multidisciplinary work, involving topics in materials science and solid mechanics; in addition, he/she will participate in scientific outreach activities.

 

This subject can be followed by a PhD offer depending on the outcomes of the internship.

 

Application Requirements

Application requirements are as below:

1. Detailed CV

2. Slides from a recent presentation and report from a recent project achieved by the student.

3. Complete transcript with all grades for undergraduate and graduate studies.

 

Interested applicants should send their complete application packets to:

Dr. Gilles Lubineau (gilles.lubineau@kaust.edu.sa)

PLEASE USE as subject for your email: Intern Application - COHMAS 2014

Internship/Studentship position:


Mechanical properties of new integrated flexible electronics based on RGO doped thermoplastics

 

A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to future flexible electronics. These are usually made of a transparent electrode (ITO) deposited on a polymer substrate. Such design results in loss of integrity when cracks develop in the thin brittle electrode. This projects intends to characterize mechanical properties of new solution for which the electrode and the substrate are merged together into a single active layer. The project will cover fatigue dependent properties as well a piezoresistive effects. Prospective candidate students will be exposed to a truly multidisciplinary work, involving topics in materials science and solid mechanics; in addition, he/she will participate in scientific outreach activities.

 

This subject can be followed by a PhD offer depending on the outcomes of the internship.

Internship/Studentship position:


Application of full field measurement to the identification of composite materials

 

A studentship opportunity is available at COHMAS within the framework of a research project related to the rapid and online identification of specific composite materials. The candidate will have to design a short experimental campaign to meet specific constraints, to conduct testing and full field measurement on these configuration and to get familiar with classical inverse problem procedures. Prospective candidate students will be exposed to a truly multidisciplinary work, involving topics in materials science and solid mechanics; in addition, he/she will participate in scientific outreach activities.

 

This subject can be followed by a PhD offer depending on the outcomes of the internship.
