About the role
Airbus is hiring for the role of Structures Intern!
Responsibilities of the Intern:
- Improve existing Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) models for fatigue initiation prediction. - Develop and enhance finite element models for integration with Abaqus. - Adapt CDM models to complex loading conditions, including multiaxial loading, plasticity, hardening and variable loading. - Analyse fatigue behaviour and evaluate model performance under different loading conditions. - Validate developed models using Proof of Concept (PoC) specimens and correlate results with physical test data. - Review research articles and derive technical conclusions to improve existing methodologies. - Analyse findings and prepare technical reports documenting research outcomes.
Requirements
- Graduate/Postgraduate degree in Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, Materials Science or Applied Mechanics Engineering. - Strong understanding of solid mechanics, finite element methods, plasticity and hardening principles. - Basic knowledge of structural fatigue. - Hands-on experience with Abaqus. - Experience with user subroutines such as UMAT, USDFLD and UEXTERNALDB is preferred. - Good programming skills in Fortran and Python. - Strong analytical, reasoning and problem-solving skills. - Ability to independently conduct research and interpret technical findings. - Good communication and interpersonal skills. - Flexibility and adaptability. - Internship Project: Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM)-based fatigue initiation prediction model integrated with Abaqus.
