PhD on 'Bioinspired Composites: Manufacturing and Multi-scale Characterization' - Eindhoven, Nederland - Eindhoven University of Technology
Beschrijving
Job description
The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has the following vacancy
PhD student "Bioinspired Composites: Manufacturing and Multi-scale Characterization"
in the section Mechanics of Materials, Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The PhD student position is available in the section Mechanics of Materials and will be supervised by Dr. Tommaso Magrini (Tommaso Magrini Google Scholar).
The Mechanics of Materials (MoM) Section
The Section of Mechanics of Materials (MoM) at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) seeks to analyse, model and understand the influence of the microstructure on the performance of materials. The main challenge of the Section is the accurate prediction of the mechanical properties of materials, and how they can be tailored for targeted industrial and societal applications. Understanding and modelling the processes that influence the evolution of microstructures is thereby a key challenge. The Section has a unique research infrastructure, both from an experimental and computational perspective.
Bioinspired Composites: Context and Aim of the Project
Biological structural materials, like mother-of-pearl and bone, despite containing a high-volume fraction of brittle constituents, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate respectively, are among the most fracture resistant materials on the planet. This remarkable feature is a consequence of their hierarchical reinforcing architecture, that nature has genetically programmed to dissipate fracture energy across multiple length scales. Replicating the internal structure of biological structural materials in synthetic composites can pave the way for new classes of structural and functional engineering components, that have applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. Contrary to nature, synthetic composites are often obtained as the result of sequential processing steps that involve high pressure and high temperature. The effect of processing on the reinforcing structure and on the mechanical performance the composites is still object of debate. Understanding and controlling the distribution of stresses introduced during manufacturing is key to further optimize the mechanical performance of bioinspired composites and to fully expand their application range in contexts where high strength, high fracture resistance and additional functionalities are needed.
In this project, you will study the effect of the reinforcing architecture on the mechanical performance bioinspired composites. A multi-scale experimental approach will be key to investigate the role of the microstructure on the failure mechanisms that affect the materials. Ceramic and polymer processing, combined with advanced materials characterization techniques, ranging from electron microscopy to micro-mechanical testing will be employed to succeed in this ambitious project.
