post-doc position. INRIA Grenoble Alpes university. France. Modelling and numerical simulation of ski lifts.

Inria and the STRMTG wish to continue developing finite element modelling of non-compressible elastic cables and extend it to inextensible cables. After a careful study of the literature and familiarisation with existing tools, the objectives of the Post-Doc will be :

• an extension of the dynamic cable model with point loads to a cable model coupled to pendulums representing vehicles;
• development of an inextensible cable model;
• an improvement of the vehicle/balancer model by integrating a rigid multi-body model representing the impact of the passage of a clamp;
