Supporting customers in Automotive to develop and produce structural plastic parts- Mechanical conceptual design- Structural finite element analysis- Numerical simulation of injection moulding process- Material research / method development

Tasks: Definition and performing research projects on sports (injury) biomechanics, numerical mechanical modelling of human, shoe, floor interaction, maintenance of (international) contacts with customers, universities and research institutes.

Tasks: (part time job)Finite element head impact modellingreview study to optimisation methods for numerical product optimisation

Tasks: Setting up research lines on head injury mechanics: a. in-vitro models for brain tissue to assess injury tolerance levels, b. sports injury biomechanics, c. mechanical characterisation of brain tissue. Development of cooperation outside University, teaching

Scope of research: Numerical modelling of the dynamical behaviour of brain tissue during traffic related impacts to assess injury risk and improve passive safety measures. Tasks: Development and numerical implementation of non-linear viscoelastic constitutive model for brain tissue. Verifying accuracy of numerical methods used (explicit FEM) for wave propagation in nearly incompressible materials. Performing mechanical experiments on brain tissue. Supervising internships.
