About the role
The role sits within the Structures department at Airbus India in Bengaluru, focused on research and innovation in structural analysis. The internship project is titled "Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) based fatigue initiation prediction model integrated to Abaqus," aiming to mature fatigue initiation prediction models previously developed for uniaxial and multiaxial cases, including plasticity and variable loading. The intern will improve finite element implementations, extend CDM models to more complex loading scenarios, and validate methods against physical test results.
What you will do
- 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
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 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
- Graduate/Post graduate (Mechanical / Civil / Aerospace / Material Science / Applied Mechanics Engineering)
- Ability to work independently
- Good communication and interpersonal skills
- Flexibility & adaptability
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
