We are currently seeking a PhD student to pursue research project within the Roberval Laboratory at Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France. The position is available in the scope of the OASIS project "Optimization of Addendum Surfaces In Stamping" involving several French academia and industrial partners.
The overall goal of the project is to propose methodologies to optimize the process parameters for service properties of high elastic steel parts, while taking into account the residual stresses due to the stamping process.
The topics to be covered in this thesis are:
- imlementation of solid-shell finite element in Code Aster opensource code http://www.code-aster.org/
- residual stress field transfer between volume 3D (solid shell) and surface 3D (surface shell) elements (Diffuse Approximation,...)
- reduced order modeling (POD, PGD, ...)
The work requires programming skills and a working knowledge of at least one computer simulation code.
