Thesis: Material Models for Predicting Life-times of Cast Superalloys via a Micromechanical Simulation Approach

Code - D MUC AEWT

TASKS

• Studies in computational engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or a comparable field
• Experience of the finite element method
• Coding experience in a high-level programming language (e.g. Python, Fortran)
• Ideally experience of implementing user material models and knowledge of some materials science fundamentals
• Good English and German language skills
• Highly motivated, able to work independently on complex technical challenges
• Strong problem-solving mindset

 REQUIREMENTS

• Work on a project focused on lifetime modeling of cast nickel-based superalloys for aero engine blades and vanes
• Review the state of the art research to identify suitable material models for the engineering problem at hand
• Implement the most promising models as a user material (“UMAT”) in a finite element solver such as Abaqus or CalculiX
• Assess the accuracy of the material models using experimental results allowing for validation on the microscopic level
• Develop a quantitative error measure to compare different material models
• Deduce a recommendation for the optimal material model, taking into account various factors such as the conformity of the model with validation experiments and computational cost
• Possibility of an upfront internship to familiarize yourself with the used tools is given
