3.90/h (standard)
Location
Annecy-le-vieux ; Maison de la mécatronique ; Symme laboratory
Subject
The study of the electrical functionalization of carbon fibers contained in
3D-printed parts is one of the themes of a thesis to be launched in October 2021 at the SYMME
SYMME laboratory on the modeling of long-fiber composite parts printed in
parts. Carbon fibers have often been used as electrical conductors thanks to their good
their good electrical properties, unlike glass or Kevlar fibers, which have
high electrical resistivity.
The aim of this internship is to characterize the electrical conductivity of carbon fibers
be printed in a composite, we'll then be able to talk about 3.5D or 4D printing for a probable use
use as actuators in mechatronic systems.
Work during this internship will be divided into several stages:
- A academics will be carried out on the SYMME laboratory's composite 3D printer.
- Research into CAD models for printing and characterization of the fibers.
- The design and development of a test bench for electrically characterizing fibres
single fibers and then fibers printed in a part
- Consider measuring the electrical conductivity of fibers when the part is under mechanical
mechanical stress
- The internship will conclude with a report on the work carried out.
The link with the teaching given at the Polytech Annecy-Chambéry engineering school is to be found
development and characterization of new materials. The student
will learn about the development of test benches and their implementation protocols.
This internship will give the student an insight into the world of applied laboratory research
which could open doors to a career in research.
The results of this work will be used to write scientific articles for publication
in dedicated scientific journals.
The candidate must be interested in discovering the world of university research, be curious
curious, able to make proposals, rigorous and methodical, and interested in experimentation. Knowledge of
knowledge of electrical engineering or electricity would be highly appreciated.
