At the Division of Mechanics
of Functional Materials in the institute of Materials Science, TU Darmstadt the
following research position is to be filled as soon as possible:
Research position (E 13 TV – TU
Darmstadt), Postdoc/Doctoral Candidate
The position is
scheduled for three years.
Tasks and Opportunities
The research topic is on continuum modeling and numerical
simulation of the hardening behavior and the texture development of sheet
metal, which undergoes severe plastic deformation after linear flow splitting
forming process and forms bifurcated profiles. The main tasks of the candidate
are to formulate and implement a dislocation-density-based hardening model, as
well as an elast-viscoplastic model for the polycrystalline based on crystal
plasticity theory. The project is embedded in a collaborative research center
founded by the German Science Foundation, and thus it offers the opportunity of
close cooperation with the corresponding experimental groups. For a doctoral
candidate a qualification of Ph.D is required at the end of the project; for a
postdoc candidate the position provides the possibility of Habilitation.
Qualifications
Motivated applicants with corresponding qualifications in
engineering and nature science (e.g. Computational Engineering, Applied
Mechanics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering or Applied
Mathematics) are invited. Research experience in continuum mechanics, numerical
simulations and programming are expected, as well as good language skills in German
or English.
