Mécanique Appliquée : Study and modeling of the intermetallic powder bed behavior for hydrogen storage

Job Description :

The DMA has been involved in the topicof hydrogen storagefor 20 years, in the field of mechanics and materials sciences, activities now integrated in the Mat’éco team, Materials for the ecological transition.The main themes envisaged concern storage solutions under compressed form (filament winding, composite materials) and in so-called "solid" form(by formation of metal hydrides).

Candidate Profile:

The successful candidate will have good knowledge in mechanics and materials science.During these 3 years of doctorate, he will have to use and develop his skills for experimental characterizations, but will especially have to be involved in the implementation of the DEM tool (Yade). We are therefore expecting a candidate with predispositions and a proven taste for numerical modeling and code development, mastery of the Linux environment is a plus.Openness and involvement are major assets for success.
