About the Job

Requirements

  • Be in the final year of an engineering-school program in computer science or electronics at Bac+5 level and seek a six-month internship.
  • Have knowledge of pyrotechnic safety, mechanical modeling, and explicit finite element methods such as RADIOSS or LS-DYNA.
  • Be able to conduct experimental tests and analyze results.
  • Demonstrate curiosity, analytical and synthesis skills, rigor, and initiative.

Responsibilities

  • Study the mechanical behavior of a representative energetic material to derive a constitutive law and damage limits.
  • Arrange for the fabrication of energetic-material pellets measuring 5 mm in diameter by 5 mm in height for testing.
  • Establish protocols for testing live energetic samples in Hopkinson-bar experiments within the pyrotechnic area.
  • Contribute to designing and setting up a Hopkinson bar system, similar to those at IRDL, in the site's pyrotechnic area in collaboration with ENSTA.
  • Conduct test campaigns to obtain data for creating a digital twin.
  • Compare test results with calculations to validate the predictive approach of the numerical model.
