Description
general research area:
The research activities focus on the understanding of the microstructures that developed in materials, on their formation and evolution with time, as well as their impact on physical properties, notably plastic properties.
Beyond its many interactions with academic laboratories at international level, the laboratory is more specifically involved in fundamental research. Several investigated topics are related to the activities of the ONERA departments in charge of the understanding and optimisation of materials for aeronautics and aerospace.
The main goal is to maintain and develop a theoretical expertise on modelling in the field of materials physics, combined with an experimental expertise in transmission electron microscopy (TEM), imaging and spectroscopies.

Description
particular research topics for MULTIMAT:
In
the framework of the RTN project, the focus
will be on the modelling of the martensitic
transformation and its related microstructural
evolutions at the mesoscopic scale using a Phase Field Method. We are
interested in the modelling of macroscopic
properties which are specific to memory shape alloys,
and that are inherited from the martensitic transformation,
such as the superelastic effect, the training under cyclic
conditions and superplasticity. We also intend to investigate the influence
of defects (such as pre-existing precipitates) on the martensitic
transformation. |
Available
positions:
Early
Stage Researchers
Preference
is for those with a degree in Physics or Materials Science, or in some related area (e.g.
mathematics, statistical physics...) with a substantial content in modelling. It is important that
applicants have a strong interest in the
interaction of theory with experiments.
The
preferred starting date is October 1, 2005.
Experienced
Researchers
Applicants
should have, or be about to obtain, a Ph.D.
in Physics or Materials Science or a related area. It is
important that applicants have a strong
interest in the interaction of theory with
experiments.
The
preferred starting date is November 1, 2005
with an envisaged stay of 1 or 2 years,
but alternative suggestions will be considered.
