Interested in investigating the mechanics of next-generation ultralight materials? Apply now!
Job description
Ultralight architected materials leverage carefully engineered artificial structures (inspired from bone, bamboo, etc.) miniaturized to micro/nano material lengthscales to unlock unprecedented and tailored properties such as high strength and toughness at very low relative densities. However, little attention has been devoted to understanding the behavior of these materials under extreme deformations — particularly since existing theories for continuum materials breakdown due to the presence of architected microstructures. Understanding such behavior is critical to enable the adoption of such ultralight architected materials in the aerospace industry.
Previous efforts in our research have furnished unique capabilities to design architected materials with tailored properties and to model complex material behavior in extreme environments with unprecedented fidelity. Building on these results, the goal of this project is to develop a scalable simulation capability as well as analyze the mechanical behavior of architected materials under extreme deformations. The outcome of this project will pave the road towards the utilization of this technology in novel ultralight aerospace structures.
The position presents a unique opportunity to be embedded in two research groups led by Dr. Sid Kumar (Mechanics, Materials, and Computing Group; mech-mat.com ) and Dr. Bianca Giovanardi (https://sites.google.com/view/biancagiovanardi/home ).
