The successful applicant will take the computational weld modelling techniques being developed at Manchester using laboratory scale weldments, and working closely with EDF, apply them to and validate them on large engineering scale weldments, demonstrating transferability to real-world structures.

  • They will pick up the finite element modelling framework developed for electron beam welding of SA508 GR 3 electron beam welds in previous projects and currently being extended in SINDRI to cover multi-pass arc welds with weld filler. They will then apply the framework to large scale real-world weld geometries, covering both the development of weld microstructure and weld residual stresses, and subsequent stress relaxation during post-weld heat treatment.
  • They will validate the modelling against a range of experimental data collected for the relevant weldments
  • They will support packaging and documentation of the relevant ABAQUS User Subroutines for deployment in EDF and its technology partners
  • They will liaise closely with the EDF embedded team at Manchester to facilitate transfer into EDF
  • They will take part in regular project technical and management meetings, and disseminate their results to EDF via both seminars and deliverable reports, and to the wider community via conference and journal publications
