Internship Title: Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) based fatigue initiation prediction model integrated to Abaqus

Brief: 

- Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) is a promising analysis methodology for better fatigue life prediction & currently has less maturity within Airbus

- Objective to further mature the fatigue initiation prediction models developed previously for uniaxial and multiaxial models including aspects of plasticity and variable loading treatment.

Job scope (core activities): 

• Improve the finite element implementation of the previously developed models with required user inputs to integrate with Abaqus
• Adapt CDM models to higher complexity such as multiaxial loading, non-localization phenomenon, complex spectra, plasticity and analyze the results
• Validate the developed methods with PoC specimens and correlate with physical test results
• Summary of findings and preparation of report

Pre-requisites: 

• Sound knowledge of solid mechanics, finite element methods, plasticity and hardening principles
• Basic knowledge on structural fatigue
• Ability to derive broad conclusions from research articles
• Hands on experience with Abaqus along with experience with creating user subroutines preferably UMAT, USDFLD, UEXTERNALDB
• Good programming skills

• Good analytical and reasoning skills

Tools:  Abaqus, Fortran, Python

Qualification:

• Graduate/Post graduate (Mechanical / Civil / Aerospace / Material Science / Applied Mechanics Engineering) 

Soft skills: 

• Ability to work independently
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• Flexibility & adaptability
