Job description

Offer DescriptionThe I2M laboratory in Bordeaux offers a research project aimed at contributing to the development of approaches and tools for characterization and modeling integrated into the design of complex structures in uncertain environments. Technological choices made in the preliminary design phases play a crucial role in production cycles and costs. The introduction of structures designed from multi-materials with complex mechanical behaviors poses challenges in terms of modeling and evaluation, leading to high development risks and costs.
The objective of the research project is to guide designers’ choices by proposing a rationalization of experimental campaigns associated with the early design phases in a context of significant uncertainty. To achieve this, the thesis work will focus on optimizing characterization and modeling strategies. Key challenges will include identifying and representing uncertainties, deploying analytical, numerical, or semi-analytical modeling, propagating uncertainties, and integrating them into the design cycle of structures.
The project will build on developments already carried out within the I2M Institute, with a particular focus on decision support in uncertain environments. The developed approaches will be applied to modeling choices for a composite reservoir intended for hydrogen storage, with potential applications in the field of intervertebral implant design.
This thesis offers the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the fields of structural engineering and mechanical systems by balancing prediction quality with cost constraints in an uncertain environment, while exploring concrete applications in key sectors such as hydrogen storage and intervertebral implant design.RequirementsResearch Field Engineering » Mechanical engineering Education Level Master Degree or equivalentSpecific RequirementsInterested candidates are invited to submit their application with a CV and transcripts.Additional InformationWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute I2M Laboratory Country France City TALENCE Postal Code 33405 Street ENSAM, Esplanade des Arts et Métiers GeofieldWhere to apply E-mail[email protected]Contact CityTALENCE WebsiteStreet351 Cours de la Libération Postal Code33400STATUS: EXPIRED
