- Existing US DOE Q security clearance
About Our Team:
The Multi-Physics Modeling and Simulation Department at Sandia National Laboratories California conducts a wide range of computational simulations including linear-elastic static; large-deformation nonlinear structural dynamics; hydrodynamics; and solid mechanics. To complete these simulations the department uses a variety of state-of-the-art analytical tools. Typical departmental programs include the following: detailed structural and thermal analyses of weapon systems; analysis-based design guidance for weapon components; the development of forging and welding modeling capabilities; pressure vessel analyses including aging and failure; hydrodynamics modeling and simulations; and failure model development and implementation (metals and composites). In addition a current major departmental focus is the development of science-based failure models and mesh-convergent numerical methodologies.
