In this project, the research fellow is expected to work on the K&C concrete model in LS-DYNA. Focusing on normal strength concretes of ~45 to 60 MPa compressive strengths, the research fellow has to calibrate the material parameters against experimental data, and to establish all modelling inputs for simulating the response of concrete structures against very high impact loading conditions. The numerical predictions will be benchmarked against experimental data. Further analyses on the robustness of concrete structures against high velocity impact loading conditions will be carried out.
The research fellow should satisfly the following:
- Has a PhD degree in a relevant field
- Proficiency in solid and computational mechanics
- Proficiency in using the K&C model in LS-DYNA
The research fellow will work with Dr Leong Hien Poh (leonghien [at] nus.edu.sg), in the National University of Singapore. The initial contract is for one year, with possible extension upon satisfactory performance. The position is expected to start around Feb 2023. Interested candidates to apply here.
