Master's Thesis: Simulation Method for Impact-Damaged Fiber Composite Components

Responsibilities

• Research and integrate into the theory of explicit impact simulations
• Perform Finite Element (FE) modeling for selected aircraft cabin components
• Validate simulation models through self-conducted physical testing
• Conduct a methodology study to transfer pre-damage using a substitute model to static models
• Validate the pre-damaged models through experimental testing

Requirements

• Currently studying Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a comparable field
• Advanced knowledge of strength mechanics
• Practical experience in Finite Element Modeling (FEM)
• Proficiency with standard software such as Altair Hypermesh
• Experience with explicit FE solvers like Radioss is highly preferred
• Strong interest in complex numerical problems and ability to work interdisciplinary

Benefits

• Flexible working hours
• Environment within a family-owned company
• On-site canteen with meal allowances
• Dedicated parking facilities
