Topic description

We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to work within our impact dynamics group oriented at the experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical response of 3D printed metamaterials (SLS printed stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys) at high rates of strain. The aim of the project is to develop a new constitutive model for Finite Element modelling of yielding and failure of 3D printed metamaterials which would allow for FE simulations of impact under moderate and high strain rates.
The holder of the postdoc position will be a member of a strong research group of young and highly motivated scientists, mainly PhD students and young postdocs.

Ideal candidate

The candidate is expected to hold a doctorate in engineering, materials science, mathematics, physics or a related discipline; or, alternatively, have a good first degree and/or significant relevant industrial experience. Experience with SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) experimental technique for characterization of the behavior of materials at high strain rates and/or evaluation of measured data for constitutive modelling is advantageous. Aside the constitutive modelling and FE simulations you will be expected to analyze and interpret high strain rate and gas gun experiments. Knowledge in material modelling, data acquisition systems, development of novel diagnostics and apparatuses in experimental mechanics, temperature and environmental conditioning of materials is also beneficial.
