Postdoc vacancy (2.5 years) on multi-scale modelling of fatigue in 3D printed metals Materials, Textiles and Chemical Engineering, Ghent University

In this Postdoctoral position, it is the purpose to further develop multi-scale models for fatigue of AM metals, taking into account the microstructure of the material. Those models will be implemented in an already developed software environment. The final objective is to develop an industrial software solution that can be applied to complex AM components and predict their fatigue life. The position is a fully numerical position, requiring advanced knowledge in numerical simulations (finite element method, Representative Volume Element-based multi-scale modelling), fatigue mechanics, computational crystal plasticity and also on extreme value statistics.

The project will be carried out in close collaboration with a large number of industrial companies in the field of additive manufacturing (Siemens, Materialise, Sabca, ESMA,…).

Only candidates with a PhD degree in Computational Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Civil Engineering, (Applied) Physics or similar should apply. You have a strong background in computational mechanics and have strong programming skills (preferably in C++ and/or Python), you are interested to perform numerical research and to interact and collaborate with industry.
