Job Description
Missions
Research internship on reconfigurable structures. The objective of this internship is to design metamaterials composed of bistable units capable of reconfiguration. We will investigate the propagation of strongly nonlinear waves in structures made of bistable arches, with particular emphasis on transition waves.
Your Profil
We are looking for a student enrolled in a master's degree in physics, mechanics, acoustics or related fields, with a taste for nonlinear physics, mechanics and wave physics, and motivated by experimental research in fundamental physics. They will develop skills in both modelling and experimentation.
Your Work Environment
Description of the employer
The student will conduct their research at the Laboratory of Acoustics of Le Mans University (LAUM), which specialises in acoustics and wave physics. They will join the Elastic Waves in Complex Media team, focusing on the propagation of elastic waves in systems with atypical behavior (such as soft metamaterials, granular media, unstable, or multi-stable systems).
