Post-Doctoral Fellow (Exp and Computational Applied Mechanics)

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham; Kollam; On-site; INR 700,000 - 1,100,000; Full time

Job summary

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham seeks researchers in experimental, computational, and interdisciplinary solid mechanics to advance stress analysis, composite structures, and structural health monitoring. You will design experiments, perform testing with DIC and photoelasticity, build FE models, and validate predictions against data.

You will investigate damage, fatigue, and failure in advanced materials, contribute to NDE methods, and collaborate across biomedical and energy applications.

Responsibilities

• Experimental, Computational and Interdisciplinary Solid Mechanics: Stress Analysis, Composite Structures and Structural Health Monitoring
• Conduct experimental analysis and mechanical testing using full-field optical methods (photoelasticity, DIC), strain gauges and standard ASTM/ISO tests, including design of specimens and fixtures.
• Develop and validate finite element models of components and structures, and correlate numerical predictions with experiments.
• Fabricate and characterise composite and advanced materials, and investigate damage, fracture, fatigue and failure mechanisms.
• Develop structural health monitoring and NDE methods, supported by inverse, image-processing and data-driven techniques.
• Contribute to interdisciplinary applications of solid mechanics in biomedical, energy, manufacturing and smart-material areas.
• Publish in high-impact journals, prepare funding proposals and patents, mentor students, and deliver project reports and milestones on time.
