EPSRC DTP Internship: Fatigue Testing of 3D Printed Metamaterials

3 weeks ago

Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom The Open University Full time

Please note this position will be employed via a temporary staff agency.

Location: Milton Keynes campus

Terms: 10 weeks full-time, 37 hours/week. Start date around June/July 2024.

Closing Date: 7th May 2024

The role

Advances in 3D printing technology make it possible to create objects with complex internal cellular structures, to modify their behaviour from naturally occurring materials. These metamaterials offer significant benefits when used in engineering design, including improved energy absorption, heat transfer and weight-to-strength ratio.

At the Open University, we have been investigating metamaterials based on honeycombs, a type of cellular structure defined according to two-dimensional patterns. Our research is exploring the relationship between the geometry of the patterns and the resulting mechanical behaviour. This project will extend this research, with a focus on durability, as determined by fatigue testing a range of 3D printed honeycomb samples.

The full summary of duties and person specification can be found within the Job Description.
