Post-Doc Inverse determination of the coefficients of the constitutive model for the machining simulation

The postdoc project is focused on the development on an innovative approach for inverse identification of the coefficients of the constitutive model for the machining simulation. The research activities include: i) constitutive modelling of engineering material; ii) mechanical characterization of the materials; iii) machining tests using a new experimental setup composed by high-speed and infrared thermal cameras; iv) determination of the strain and strain-rate fields in machining using digital imaging correlation (DIC) technique; v) machining simulation using finite element (FEM) and meshless methods; and vi) determination of the coefficients of the constitutive model using optimization-based algorithms. The experimental setup mentioned above will be developed in the scope of a PhD thesis conducted in parallel of the postdoctoral project.

The project will be supervised by experienced researchers within the LaBoMaP laboratory (Laboratoire Bourguignon des Matériaux et Procédés, http://labomap.ensam.eu) of Arts et Metiers Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the LMT laboratory (Laboratoire de Mécanique et Technologie, http://lmt.ens-paris-saclay.fr) of ENS Paris-Saclay.

Keywords: Constitutive model, Inverse identification, Digital Image Correlation, FEM

Contract duration: 12 months

Jobs Hours: Full time

Deadline application: 20 September 2021

Starting job: Between October and December 2021

Candidate Profile:

Highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in mechanical engineering or materials science.
