Apply for JobJob ID696396 Full/Part TimePart-Time Regular/TemporaryTemporary Add to Favorite JobsEmail this Job What Your Job Will Be Like The Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics (NOMAD) Research Institute is an 8-week long program held at the University of New Mexico (UNM) that brings together researchers from around the world to work on challenging research problems in engineering sciences. The Component Science and Mechanics Department is seeking motivated and productive student interns to contribute to a number of summer research projects. The internship will provide you with opportunities to work in diverse research teams, to participate in a research project that will be presented at a final seminar series, and to engage/network with professionals working within their research fields. The teams generally consist of 3 interns and 3-5 mentors per project team. Implementing Multi-Input-Multi-Output Shock Capabilities Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) testing capabilities have been recently implemented as an alternative to vibration shaker tables. They have many advantages, including more realistic boundary conditions, portable setups, and lower costs. This project will focus on the development and implementation of MIMO shock testing, including writing and implementing MIMO shock environment specifications, using MIMO shock capabilities in the Rattlesnake control software, and model integration with MIMO shock test data. Dynamically informed topology optimization of nonlinear bolted structures A recently developed topology optimization capability produces mock components that match the structural dynamics of the actual component, enabling higher-fidelity information earlier in the design process. Challenges to implementation include accounting for bolted joints when components are printed in multiple pieces, and distortion of thin-walled structures. This project will address these challenges using an additively manufactured, modally representative baseball bat. Chaotic vibration response of nonlinear components under forced vibration High-fidelity numerical simulations of complex electromechanical devices have shown extreme sensitivity to non-physical parameters. This observed behavior is reminiscent of chaotic behavior for nonlinear dynamical systems. The goal of this project is to perform a set of vibration experiments to evaluate the sensitivity of the measured vibration response to various conditions, assess whether the system is behaving chaotically, and apply approaches to analyzing chaotic responses for a deterministic system. Microstructure-Property Relationships in Tantalum Alloys Understanding the effect of microstructure on ductility is vital to model tantalum alloys. The goal of this project is to understand the relationship between microstructure and macroscale response through modeling and simulation activities in tantalum alloys. Students will employ crystal plasticity and continuum-scale finite element models. Results will inform how grain morphology and crystallographic texture affect material response and reveal connections between micro- and macro-scale model parameters to facilitate multiscale modeling. Experimental characterization of gas transport in a vibrated multiphase system This project aims to characterize vibrated liquid-gas interface breakup and subsequent gas transport in a simple multiphase system by acquiring and quantitatively analyzing images from high-speed videography. The desired outcome is an improved understanding of how these processes depend on key parameters, including vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, and total gas volume fraction. Predicting Printability of Particle-Laden Inks Additive manufacturing technologies based on material extrusion hinge on particle-laden inks that are printable. A new criterion based on particle loading in the ink differentiates printable inks from poor inks. The students will leverage existing datasets to perform particle packing simulations. Particle suspension constitutive equations to capture the rheology coupled to level set methods will be evaluated. Experiments will assess the impacts of feedstock modifications on printability to maximize particle loading.

Furthermore, employees in New Mexico need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment. Under federal law, citizens and agents of the People's Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, and the Russian Federation are generally prohibited from accessing Sandia National Laboratories. Accordingly, such individuals will not be considered for employment unless they are also a citizen of the United States. If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that require a clearance, a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.S. citizens. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted. Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who require uncleared access for greater than 179 days during their employment, are required to go through the Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) process. Access includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to any NNSA information technology (IT) systems. UPIV requirements are not applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security clearance for the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign nationals. The UPIV process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment, SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment). An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical) access and/or removal from SNL subcontract. All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after the decision date.
