#Discover I 2027-2028 | Advanced Composite Unfolding failure criterion studies

Job description

Job Description: Ready to join one of our Graduate Programs in Spain? AIRBUS offer more than 70 vacancies for our full time graduate program in Spain - #Discover I 2027/2028 - Starting date March 2027 until February 2028 We are looking for recent graduates from different disciplines interested in developing their professional career in the aeronautical sector. The current context demands different ways of looking, thinking and relating. The selection process will be during October 2026 until February 2027. What does this internship consists in? Together with Camilo José Cela University, Airbus has developed an exclusive program (Discover) designed for those interested in the best training in new areas of knowledge essential to be able to develop as professionals of the future. You will have the opportunity to study a Master, organized in three training blocks, that will allow you to Discover the skills most in demand today. It will be combined with an 11 month internship at Airbus in an area related to your degree, where you can learn and complete your academic background. The start of the internship will be in early March 2027, and will last 11 months (August disabled for all purposes). It is a full-time experience (40h/week), in which you will receive an attractive study grant. Internship Job Description: The student will carry out this internship within the stress method and design value team (1ACAAS) at Airbus, which develops sizing methods applicable to the whole Airbus aircraft family. The student will be located in Getafe but will be integrated into a fully transnational team. The project will be based on advanced composite unfolding analysis for composite structures. Composite angles are increasingly substituting metallic angles in structural part design, with CFRP L-angles found at numerous locations within modern aircraft structures. The primary reason is structural simplicity, as angles can be integral to the structural part, reducing the elements in the joint, which directly translates to reduced weight and the avoidance of corrosion issues. However, the complex physical behavior of these angles, particularly under delamination and in-plane stresses, must be understood in detail. Project: The intention of this project is to deep-dive into the stress states governing induced unfolding failure mechanisms. Taking analytical models (Lekhnitskii, Ko-Jackson) as the basis, the student will aim to build a robust prediction model considering several phenomena identified in recent studies. During the project, the student will: Analyze the experimental data to capture in-plane failures. Study analytical crack stress models and develop FEM to support analytical formulations. Explore free edge effect and incorporate this phenomenon into the stress field calculations and prediction models. Investigate thermal curing stresses and how they can be modelled to measure their effect on the stress field and failure envelope. Progress towards building a prediction model that, under general loading conditions, can determine the structural Reserve Factors. Required skills #AirbusDiversity As a successful candidate, you will be able to demonstrate the following skills and experience: Educated to degree level (or equivalent) in Aerospace Engineering Ability to work in complex and international environments. Structural stress analysis, particularly in Composite materials. Structural stress methods Analytical and problem-solving skills Programming languages (C+/Fortran/Python) Final Element modelling techniques (Abaqus, Nastran, Hypermesh) Language Skills: Negotiation level of English, Spanish Why should you apply? - Foster your professional development with a strong academic background and an in-depth collaboration in AIRBUS projects. - Expand your network within the aeronautical industry. - Meet our people working with passion and determination to make the world a more connected, safer and smarter place. - Be part of our diversity and teamwork culture that propel us to accomplish the extraordinary - on the ground, in the sky and in space.
