Responsibilities
Establish continuum-scale modelling framework by configuring ASTM-compliant testing procedures (tensile and fatigue) using existing CalculiX pipelines
Develop microscale stacking sequence models in NASMAT to simulate ply orientation effects and mechanical behaviour at the micro-structural level
Create automated coupling pipeline to seamlessly transfer stacking sequence computational outputs from NASMAT as direct inputs to CalculiX continuum-scale models
Train and calibrate multi-scale models using available literature benchmarks to ensure accuracy and reliability across length scales
Implement optimization algorithms to evaluate and identify optimal stacking sequences for various load cases and material testing scenarios
Validate computational framework by comparing results against published literature and quantifying potential reduction in required physical tests enabled by the modelling approach
Document methodology and results in technical reports detailing model development, validation procedures, and recommendations for future applications
Present findings to the engineering team, demonstrating the capability and efficiency gains achieved through the coupled multi-scale modelling approach
Qualification
