hela Sverige PhD Position in Material Mechanics
The research within the Division of Material Mechanics ranges from simulation and modelling of chains of manufacturing processes, individual processes to material modelling. This can support the integrated design of manufacturing process and product. Of particular interest is material modelling as it is crucial when simulating manufacturing processes as they often cause changes in the material structure and corresponding changes in the material response. Physical based models and particularly multiscale models for the material behaviour can also support the design of materials for improved mechanical properties.
Available research project:
Optimisation of Induction Heating Process
The aim for this project is to develop optimisation strategies and tools for simulation driven design pertaining to induction heating processes used in applications for hot forming as well as heat treatment in welded aerospace components. Developed tools will consist of one simpler tool to evaluate the technical possibility to apply induction heating for a given case in the early design phase. The other is a more advanced optimisation tool. This part of the project will utilise developments in an on-going project at the division Material Mechanics where induction heating models are developed. The work is also part of the Faste Laboratory at Ltu.
Qualifications
The PhD candidates should have 240 credits of which 60 credits on an advanced level within Mechanical engineering, Applied physics, Civil engineering or equivalent. The candidates should also be excellent in written and oral communication in Swedish or in English. Knowledge about FEM and/or advanced computational and optimisation methods is a merit as well as a high quality and relevant student diploma work. Knowledge of the Swedish language can also be of importance since part of the work will be carried out in close co-operation with industry.
