  The Chair of Nonlinear Solid Mechanics at the Faculty of Engineering Technology, has an opening for a postdoctoral position on the development of physics-based models to predict mechanical performance based on electromagnetic sensing behaviors in steel production processes.
  The Challenge
  In steel production lines, electromagnetic sensors conduct non-destructive, online measurements to deduce the magnetic properties of materials from sensor data, correlating these with mechanical properties. This requires an understanding of the structure-property relationships.
  The project intends to extend current research at the University of Twente by developing physics-based models for electromagnetic measurements of steel sheets across various grades on a production line. The primary objective is to model the electromagnetic response of steel’s polycrystalline microstructure through micro-to-macro transformations. This involves enhancing the models to incorporate the effects of dislocation density, phase distribution, and residual stresses on the magnetic responses detectable by line sensors. Such advancements will facilitate the optimization of sensor systems in terms of geometry and placement, potentially enhancing steel production efficiency.
  In this project, you will report your research during bi-weekly meetings of our research group and frequent meetings with the industrial partner. You are encouraged to present your results at international scientific conferences, and publish them in academic journals. Furthermore, as a researcher, you will be encouraged to tutor MSc students who do their final assignment on parts of the current research project. Your advisors will be Dr. habil Celal Soyarslan and Prof. Dr. Ton van den Boogaard.
