Topic : Analysis and modelling of variable stiffness composites produced by additive manufacturing: analysis and integration of process specificities
Context
The National School of Arts et Métiers is a scientific, cultural and professional public institution (EPSCP) under the sole supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. It is composed of eight campuses and three institutes spread throughout the country.
Its missions are those of a public institution of higher education: initial and continuing education, research and development.
Missions / profile
The proposed PostDoc is part of the SMARTCOMPOSITE2 and GLAMOUR-VSC projects, which aim at creating a digital and experimental R&D platform for composites obtained by additive manufacturing (AM). The PostDoc's work will focus on:
1) Studying the effects of the complexity of the morphology of composites and the specific features of the AM process on the mechanical response of the material and the structure (on any relevant scale);
2) To develop the composite AM process towards the manufacture of structural components through the use of high modulus and/or high toughness resins;
3) 3) Design non-standard tests to characterise damage kinetics specific to this class of composites.
To this end, the SMARTCOMPOSITE polymer and filled polymer AM platform at I2M/ENSAM will be used.
