Project Associate / PhD Positions: Multiscale Simulation of Impact and Fracture

Applications are invited for few open positions in the area of multiscale simulation of advanced alloys and nano-material based composites. Primary focus of this research is investigatation of shock and impact responses of materials. Research effort will include development of analysis and design methods toward improving material/structural behaviour using computer simulation. Interested candidates should have preferably MTech/ME degree in mechanical/civil/aerospace/material engineering discipline with good knowledge of basic finite element method, solid mechanics/material physics, and preliminary experience in finite element simulations. Exposure to computer programming with C/C++/fortran and Matlab would be advantageous. Candidates having experimental background in material/structural mechanics/nano-materials with interests in multiscale response of materials and structures are also welcome to apply.

 Interested candidates may contact Prof D Roy Mahapatra (droymahapatra@aero.iisc.ernet.in) or Vijay Kumar Sutrakar (vijay.sutrakar@gmail.com) with detailed bio-data.
