Responsibilities:

Group Overview:

Our group performs system hardening technology research and development. We specialize in modeling the shock response of materials and structures to impulsive and thermal loadings. This involves application of hydrocodes (e.g., WONDY, ALEGRA and ALE3D) and finite element codes (e.g., ABAQUS) to impact and radiation driven problems. Radiation transport codes such as MCNP and ITS are used to calculate thermal loadings. Modeling results are compared to experimental results from a variety of test facilities including:

  • Light gas gun impact facility (Arcfield)
  • Laser and pulsed power driven Plasma Radiation Sources (PRS)
    (e.g. LLNL National Ignition Facility and Sandia Z Machine)
  • Laser ablation driven shock facilities (e.g., LLNL NIF Direct Laser Impulse)
  • Pulse power driven electron and proton beams (e.g., DTRA PITHON and NRL GAMBLE II) and
  • Explosive loading facilities (e.g., Sandia Light Initiated High Explosives (LIHE))

Job Responsibilities:

  • Perform modeling, simulation, and mechanical response analyses of strategic systems materials and structures.
  • Generate complex meshes, specify constitutive model parameters, and properly model loads, boundary conditions, contacts, bonds, and fasteners.
  • Inspect simulation results and debug modeling issues.
  • Evaluate modeling assumptions and estimate uncertainty.
  • Validate models using experimental results.
  • Defend results at customer and peer review meetings.
