PhD in Multi-scale Modeling of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Composites
Conduct doctoral research on the multi-scale mechanical modeling of advanced fiber-reinforced elastomeric composite materials.
Best for:Best for graduate engineers with a strong background in solid mechanics, material science, and computational modeling.
Overview
The Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard invites applications for a fully-funded PhD position focusing on the multi-scale modeling of fiber-reinforced elastomeric composites. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment within the Doctoral School of Physical Sciences for the Engineer and Microtechnics (SPIM). The project involves developing advanced constitutive laws and computational models to predict the mechanical behavior of these complex materials under various loading conditions. The candidate is expected to conduct rigorous scientific investigations, collaborate with academic and industrial partners, and publish findings in peer-reviewed journals.
