In this project, ferrous materials exhibiting mechanically-driven martensitic transformation, such as iron-based shape memory alloys and steels containing a metastable phase, will be tested at various strain rates, ranging from dynamic levels (via Hopkinson bar) to hypervelocity impacts (via Taylor impacts). Size- and time-dependent crystal plasticity finite element simulations will be performed using open-source code to reveal functional mechanisms. The material behavior will be modeled by developing user-defined subroutines. Furthermore, a numerical multiscale simulation framework based on FE-square and crystal plasticity will be established within an open-source finite element framework. Also, AI-based measurements and simulations will be developed.

Please note that applications are exclusively open to students from our partner universities. Partner universities will announce the application details to their students when the application period begins.

The selection process begins with a review of applicants' submitted documents. Candidates who pass this initial document screening will be invited for an interview.

Final acceptance will be based on the interview results, with successful applicants demonstrating the ability to effectively carry out the research activities required from each laboratory. Document screening will take place in March-April, and interviews for shortlisted candidates will be conducted in May-June. £Û°Õµþ¶Ù£Ý
