<DIV>ANSTO is one of Australia’s foremost scientific research and development
organisations, focused on delivering the benefits of nuclear science to the
Australian community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Two Materials Science or Engineering PhD graduates are sought to work on
the development of advanced methods for predicting the structural integrity of
welded components and structures in nuclear and thermal power generation
systems. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>One fellowship is to develop full 3D residual stress finite element
simulations of power plant welds in order to inform predictive models of their
structural integrity. This will be accomplished using the ABAQUS FEA
package used within ANSTO’s Institute for Materials Engineering. The work will
centre around the key simulation and measurement tasks in an international
program (NET: Safelife.jrc.nl/net/) to standardise methods of calculating
residual stress in both Austenitic and Ferriotic/Martensitic thermal plant.
</DIV>
<DIV><BR> </DIV>
<DIV>The second fellowship is based on the requirement in high quality weld
finite element simulations for accurate materials constitutive models and
appropriate validation. In particular, it has become clear that significant
improvements in simulation accuracy are produced if the spatial variation in
constitutive behaviour in the weld is included in the model. Thus, the
fellow will use state-of-the-art non-contact strain (ESPI and DIC) and high
spatial resolution neutron and synchrotron diffraction techniques to measure
both the elastic and plastic constitutive behaviour in the weld, the heat
affected zone and parent material in order to provide data critical to weld
simulation activity within the research group. </DIV>
