Modeling and Failure Analysis of Materials (PhD position):

The research will focus on understanding stress, deformation, fracture, fatigue, and failure mechanisms in advanced materials and structures through numerical modeling, analytical methods, and validation.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Background in solid mechanics, mechanics of materials, or structural analysis
• Experience with finite element analysis (FEA)
• Ability to develop analytical models for stress, strain, deformation, fracture, fatigue, or failure behavior
• Familiarity with Abaqus, ANSYS Mechanical, COMSOL, SolidWorks Simulation, or similar tools
• Strong interest in connecting simulation, theory, and experimental validation
• AI/ML is a plus
