About this position
This PhD position at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra focuses on the design and development of a simulation model for the cutting of metallic and non-metallic materials using an electron beam. The research aims to create geometric, mathematical, and simulation models within the ANSYS environment, with geometric models mirroring real material samples and utilizing advanced mesh generation for high-accuracy calculations. The mathematical modeling will incorporate the heat source's shape and heat flow density, while also considering the thermophysical and mechanical properties of various materials as a function of temperature.
The project will involve conducting numerical analyses to objectively assess material behavior under electron beam influence, with the ultimate goal of clarifying thermal and stress-strain responses during the cutting process. The simulation outcomes are expected to have direct practical applications in advanced manufacturing and materials engineering.
The position is supervised by doc. Ing. Erika Hodúlová, PhD. The research will be conducted at the Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics, with collaboration opportunities across related departments. The university provides a vibrant academic environment in Nitra, Slovakia.
Applicants should possess a Master's degree in Engineering or a related discipline and demonstrate strong skills in ANSYS, SYSWELD, CAD/CAM, and SolidWorks. Proficiency in English and Slovak is required, along with a solid background in thermomechanics, materials, and technologies. The position is full-time and starts on September 1, 2026. The application deadline is May 31, 2026.
