Industrial Ph.D. Candidate - CAE for composite structures
As Industrial Ph.D. Candidate in the project "Efficient design methodology for composite vehicle structures through numerical simulations" within the department of Durability and section for CAE Durability, you will be a part of our post-graduate program and have a permanent employment. We search for you, who want to work with research & development within strength of materials in the automotive industry. We offer an Industrial Ph.D. position for 4-5 years of research, in collaboration with Chalmers University, followed by a position at Volvo Car Corporation in Göteborg within the R&D organisation. During your doctoral studies you will be employed by the CAE Durability Body and Trim Section where your industrial supervisor will be located. As a Ph.D. student you will be part of a team together with other postgraduate students employed by Volvo Car Corporation, Chalmers and Swerea Sicomp. You will have academic supervisors at Chalmers and Swerea Sicomp.
Background to the project is a foreseen technology shift by introduction of structural parts in carbon fiber composites (CFRP). The project deals with analysis of aerospace design methods and is targeting a cost-efficient, yet robust, design methodology for Volvo Cars. The work includes:
• Analysis of aerospace virtual testing routes
• Validation of methods for strength and fatigue
• Learn to use and visualise anisotropic materials in a CAE environment
• Description of a design process for CFRP
• Implementation in case studies.
To successfully accomplish the project, you should have very strong analytical skills, act independently and take initiatives. You are at least M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent with emphasis in computational mechanics or polymer engineering. You must have strong communication skills with an excellent English language level, verbally and in writing. Meritorious is previous professional experience in the areas of Polymeric materials, numerical analysis procedures or CAE.

The department of Durability has around 100 employees and consultants and is responsible for the attributes Strength&Durability, Corrosion, Aging of Polymeric Materials and Fire Safety. The responsibility includes target setting, CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) analysis, testing in laboratory and on proving ground. The CAE team performs strength, fatigue and load analyses for the design areas Body and Exterior, Interior, and Chassis, mainly in the development phase in new car projects. All through the projects there is a close cooperation with design engineers, attribute leaders and test engineers. In parallel with the work in car projects, method development and correlations are performed to enhance the CAE capability.
