Missions

Modeling and simulation of the thermomechanical behavior of a SiC solar receiver for tower concentration solar power plants.
Experimental study to develop acoustic monitoring and thermomechanical characterization of SiC samples (brazed and homogeneous).

Activités

Thermomechanical simulation of a SiC receiver subjected to concentrated solar radiation. Use of the simulation to design the receiver to be commissioned as part of the ANR project.
Development of a new version of the IMPACT experimental bench for acoustic monitoring of damage to material samples.
Experimental study of various SiC samples.
Exploitation of measurements from the acoustic monitoring carried out during the experimental campaign. Identify signatures of the appearance of defects. Understanding of damage and fracture mechanisms.

Compétences

Knowledge: thermo-mechanical couplings, acoustic emissions, non-destructive testing.
Know-how: signal processing, Python programming, thermo-mechanical simulations, experimental bench development.
People skills: independent working, team spirit, rigor.

Contexte de travail

ANR SicSun project within the CSPG team. The project will focus on the thermomechanical properties of the material, fluidized bed flow and control of operating parameters.
The work will be carried out partly at the Perpignan site, and partly at the Odeillo site (experimental part).

Le poste se situe dans un secteur relevant de la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique (PPST), et nécessite donc, conformément à la réglementation, que votre arrivée soit autorisée par l'autorité compétente du MESR.

Contraintes et risques

Travel to Odeillo for experimentation.
