Subject description
The research in solid mechanics deals with methods and principles to determine strains, stresses and collapse phenomena in deformable bodies.
Major emphasis is placed on fundamental understanding and modelling of materials behaviour and phenomena. Solid Mechanics is a fundamental topic within Mechanical Engineering and a cornerstone for many associated disciplines. The problems and issues addressed in solid mechanics are highly relevant for industrial applications.
Work duties
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties will also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%).
The ultimate goal of this project is to establish micromechanical physics-based computational models that capture fundamental dipole characteristics at the micro level of monomer and polymer chains on the one hand, and to take such response to the electromechanically coupled response on the macro level on the other. The models shall be combined with three-dimensional large strain finite element formulations to simulate complex electromechanically coupled boundary value problems. The physics- and micromechanics-informed model shall enable to naturally predict complex response observed at the macro level such as deformation-dependent permittivity and, moreover, phenomena such as electrical breakdown. Furthermore, the microstructure of the dielectric elastomer evolves so that deformation induced anisotropy shall be included in the modelling framework as well as viscous response. The position requires also travelling to TU Dortmund due to the double affiliation of Prof. Andreas Menzel.
Admission requirements
A person meets the general admission requirements for third-cycle courses and study programmes if he or she:
• has been awarded a second-cycle qualification, or
• has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second cycle, or
• has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
A person meets the specific admission requirements for third cycle studies in Solid Mechanics if he or she has:
• at least 90 credits in the field, including at least 45 second-cycle credits and a second-cycle degree project of 30 credits in the field, or
• a MSc in civil engineering, engineering physics, engineering mathematics or mechanical engineering.
Finally, the student must be judged to have the potential to complete the program.
Additional requirements:
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• Practical experience in advanced material modelling and simulation for the study of material behaviour at stages of inhomogeneous deformations
• Be competent in computer programming including nonlinear finite element methods
• A good understanding of theoretical and numerical modelling approaches is mandatory
Assessment criteria
Selection for third-cycle studies is based on the student's potential to profit from such studies. The assessment of potential is made primarily on the basis of academic results from the first and second cycle. Special attention is paid to the following:
1. Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of study.
2. An assessment of ability to work independently and to formulate and tackle research problems.
3. Written and oral communication skills
4. Other experience relevant to the third-cycle studies, e.g. professional experience.
5. Skills and experience in finite deformation continuum mechanics
6. Skills in advanced material modelling including coupled problems
7. Knowledge of transient and coupled field problems will be an advantage
8. Computational mechanics including nonlinear finite element methods for coupled problems
Conditions
Only those admitted to third cycle studies may be appointed to a doctoral studentship. Third cycle studies at LTH consist of full-time studies for 4 years. A doctoral studentship is a fixed-term employment of a maximum of 5 years (including 20% departmental duties). Doctoral studentships are regulated in the Higher Education Ordinance (1998:80).
Instructions on how to apply
Applications shall be written in English and include a cover letter stating the reasons why you are interested in the position and in what way the research project corresponds to your interests and educational background. The application must also contain a CV, degree certificate or equivalent, and other documents you wish to be considered (grade transcripts, contact information for your references, letters of recommendation, etc.).
