Missions

The aim of the post-doctorate is to design a systemic but accurate thermal and thermomechanical model of the behavior of a battery module incorporating new materials, under normal and degraded conditions during thermal overload of a cell. The second challenge is to develop "virtual" tools for detecting thermal overload through the development of reduced parametric models.

Activités

- State-of-the-art thermomechanical modeling of battery modules and transient representation of thermal overheating;
- Macroscopic modeling approaches for the innovative battery module;
- Modelling and fine simulations of the module;
- Identification and optimization of reduced parametric models.

Compétences

- Numerical simulation skills in thermal and thermomechanical engineering;
- Skills in inverse methods applied to thermal problems;
- Ability to work in a complex environment, interacting with a wide range of industrial and academic partners.

Contexte de travail
