Dieses Angebot wurde eingegeben bei http://www.drarbeit.de, der Internet-Stellenboerse und Kooperationspartner von SCIENCE-JOBS-DE für Diplom- und Promotionsarbeiten ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fachgebiete: Informatik Mathematik Physik Thema: Doktorarbeit / Diplomarbeit: Multiscale structure-functional modeling of musculoskeletal mineralized tissues Ansprechpartner: Prof. Kay Raum Antwort an: kay.r...@charite.de Institution: Julius Wolff Institut Ort: 13353 Berlin, Augustenburger Platz 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You will be working in an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the Berlin-Brandenburg School for Regenerative Therapies (BSRT) within the framework of the DFG priority program SPP1420 Biomimetic Materials Research: Functionality by Hierarchical Structuring of Materials. Musculoskeletal mineralized tissues (MMTs) are natural examples of achieving a unique combination and variability of stiffness and strength. This is achieved by only one common building unit, i.e. the mineralized collagen fibril, but variable structural arrangements at several levels of hierarchical organization. Multi-scale and multimodal (Scanning Acoustic Microscopy, Synchrotron Radiation µCT, SAXS, Nanoindentation) will be used to probe not only the microarchitecture, but also anisotropic linear elastic properties from the nanoscale to the macroscale. By combining experimental data obtained from MMTs at various length scales with numerical homogenization approaches in continuum mechanics, we hypo! thesize to gain new insight into self assembly mechanisms, construction rules and physiological boundary conditions of MMTs. Methoden: Scanning Acoustic Microscopy Nanoindentation Synchrotron radiation µCT SAXS Finite Element Analysis Anfangsdatum: 8.
