Internship: Evaluate Fatigue Analysis software

<br><strong>Introduction</strong><br>This is an apprentice internship for a master&#39;s student in engineering (mechanical, biomechanical, aerospace, civil) or physics who is interested in evaluating and understanding the strong features of a number of available fatigue FEM tools for different situations of stress-life method, strain-life method and fracture mechanics method&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Job Mission</strong><br>Within ASML, the sector Development &amp; Engineering (D&amp;E) is responsible for the specification and the design of the ASML lithography systems. The department Mechanical Architecture (MA) is designing, building and analyzing mechanical systems and sub-systems which are fitted into the end products. The group Mechanical Analysis is responsible for precision engineering of critical modules and for general mechanical analysis. Are you eager to further develop your mechanical expertise? To be part of the state-of-the-art technology innovation and multiple engineering discipline? If so, then an internship as mechanical analyst at ASML could be the perfect next step in your career.<br><br><strong>Job Description</strong><br>For this assignment you will join the FEM team of the Mechanical Analysis group. In this team, engineers use finite element approach to analyze different parts of the machine for their mechanical performance. Fatigue is an important phenomenon threating the mechanical performance of any part which undergoes fluctuating loads. Recently, the demand for proper fatigue analysis has been increased. Fatigue postprocessing on FEM results has been proven to give reliable results which includes details that might not be very easy to achieve by hand calculations or simple program scripts. On the other side, there are a number of fatigue FEM tools which have different strengths and weaknesses. Evaluating and understanding the strong features of a number of available fatigue FEM tools for different situations of stress-life method, strain-life method and fracture mechanics method is the goal of this position.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;
