Master Thesis »simulation of The Microstructure

vor 6 Monaten


Freiburg, Deutschland Mechanics of Materials Vollzeit

At the Fraunhofer IWM, 330 employees conduct research on materials and components with the aim of better understanding, developing, processing and using them. In our projects, we bridge the gap between the properties of materials and the durability, safety and function of technical systems.
We show ways and solutions for more energy efficiency and sustainability. After all, materials are crucial for climate neutrality, for the careful use of our planet's limited resources and for the sustainable transformation of our economy.

**What you will do**

In our group "Forming Processes", we deal with all issues relating to the optimization of forming processes and forming tools, as well as the development of models that describe material behavior and determine relevant material and process parameters.

Varied tasks await you:
You will be part of our team for the numerical simulation of the industrial forging of a large turbine shaft. This involves modeling the complex manufacturing process and carrying out finite element simulations, which you will validate using real process data. You will analyze the results and correlate the predicted microstructures and mechanical properties with experimental results. The results obtained should be used afterwards for component and process optimization, considering various influencing variables. In order to keep up to date with the latest developments in material and process simulation, you will familiarize yourself with current publications and literature.

**What you bring to the table**

Your professional background:
Qualifications that complement your profile:
Thanks to your strong problem-solving skills, you are able to independently find solutions to complex problems and take a critical look at the issues you are dealing with. Ideally, you also have gained experience in in materials mechanics and/or forming technology in the past. Your strong communication skills and ability to work in a team round off your profile and open doors for you to work at our institute.

**What you can expect**

Always something new:
Working at the Fraunhofer IWM means researching innovative topics in an established research institute. Thanks to our flat hierarchies and open working culture, you will always have the right support at your disposal.

What we offer you:
Through flexible working hours and mobile working, we are committed to ensuring that you can balance your free time and work. In family emergencies, we offer emergency childcare and allow you to bring your children to our parent-child office if necessary, in order to react flexibly to unforeseen situations or childcare bottlenecks. You can also benefit from a wide range of employee discounts on events, furniture, clothing and much more.

This culture awaits you:
Our open institute culture aims to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable here. We pursue this goal, for example, through various leisure groups and our networking event as part of the onboarding process.
Come and join us and see for yourself
