Research Associate in Dislocation Modelling (Fixed-term for 48 months)

Modelling of Dislocation-Microstructure Interaction at a Short Crack Tip

This project aims to model dislocation-microstructure interaction at a crack tip and associated short crack growth for nickel alloys.

You will join the vibrant Mechanics of Advanced Materials group at Loughborough (www.lboro.ac.uk/moam) which has gained significant experience in the study of mechanical behaviour of advanced materials.

A good honours degree or masters in solid mechanics /mechanical engineering/applied mathematics or other relevant discipline, with experience of fracture and fatigue analyses and a good understanding of plasticity, micro-mechanics, fracture, fatigue and creep is essential. Post-doctoral research experience in solid and computational mechanics and modelling of dislocation, micro-plasticity and cyclic plasticity is desirable.
