Postdoc: High-Speed Stereo DIC for Hydrogen Tank Crashes

Delft University of Technology; Delft; Sur place; EUR 41 000 - 64 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Delft University of Technology in Delft invites applications for a Postdoc in Optical Metrology focused on full-scale crash testing of hydrogen aircraft tanks. You will perform stereo DIC measurements with high-speed cameras and connect results to crash simulations within the CRYOSTAR EU project.

The 12-month position emphasizes robustness of measurements, collaboration with industry partners in Italy, and dissemination through journals and conferences, with supervision by Dr. Andrei Anisimov.

Qualifications

• A PhD in optics, computer vision, experimental mechanics, aerospace engineering or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with digital image correlation (DIC), ideally high-speed stereo.
• Experience in correlating DIC data with finite element models for model validation.
• Experience with image processing and data analysis.
• Willingness to travel to the test facility in Italy for the test campaign (short period).

Responsabilités

• designing the high-speed stereo imaging setup for DIC and marker (fiducial) tracking;
• test measurements in the TU Delft laboratory and the measurements during the final drop test on site;
• processing the image data into displacements, strains and motions of the test article;
• linking the DIC results to the finite element models.
