Job Opportunity: EPSRC DTP Internship: Fatigue Testing of 3D Printed Metamaterials:Job description:Job location: Milton Keynes 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 function 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 located 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 durcapability, as determined by fatigue testing a range of 3D printed honeycomb samples. The full summary of tasks and person specification can be found within the Job Description. If you would like further details about the function before making an application, then please email stem-research-student-support@open.ac.uk quoting the reference number and job title.
