Stochastic Computational Mechanics

Context

As part of a Europeanproject between different industrial partners and Universities, the main objective of the doctoral position will be to develop methodologies in thecontext of data-driven stochastic multi-scale simulations.

PhD opportunity

The doctoral project will be supervised by Prof. L. Noels of ULg (http://www.ltas-cm3.ulg.ac.be/), in close collaboration with the partners of the project. The position is that of a research engineer starting in Fall2021.

Post-doctoral position - Stochastic computational techniques to deal with uncertainties on the geometry in structural analysis

The post-doctoral student will join the pole "Structures and Couplings" of the Research Institute en Civil Engineering and Mechanics (GeM), Nantes, France (Nantes University, Ecole Centrale Nantes, CNRS UMR 6183)

We have recently been awarded a Research Project by the French National Research Agency. This project addresses theorical and numerical developments in the field of stochastic computational mechanics. The main goal of this project is to develop a robust computational technique to deal with uncertainties on the geometry in structural analysis. The proposed methodology lies on the extension of the Extended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) into the stochastic framework and the development of efficient computational techniques for solving stochastic systems.
