Materials Science and Engineering and Solid Mechanics at KTH have initiated a centre for mechanical properties (centre for Mechanics and Materials Design – MMD) together with a series of leading Swedish manufacturing companies. The department of Materials Science and Engineering now offers a postdoc position within the MMD centre. The work will be at the border between materials sciences and solid mechanics and will comprise elements from both research areas. The research will focus on crystal plasticity, micromechanical modelling of degradation of fatigue properties and initiation of fatigue damage in combination with in-situ micromechanical experiments. The work is planned for a series of different steel grades with increasing microstructural complexity. Similarly, the fatigue experiments will have a progression in increasing stress-state complexity from uniaxial to contacts.
