Subject you study: Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science

Research into existing connection and sealing concepts between CMC and metal components, drawing on the literature and patents
Identifying the specific problems associated with CMC–metal connections and deriving potential solutions
Evaluation of published solutions from patents and the literature, and selection of a suitable concept or a combination of different concepts for the specified stator geometry
Development and detailed design using CAD of two to three connection concepts based on a specific case study: connection of a CMC guide vane from the first stage of the high-pressure turbine to the metallic engine environment
Evaluation of the developed connection using an existing evaluation matrix, as well as, where applicable, initial structural analysis using the finite element method

A degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science or a comparable discipline
Fluency in spoken and written German or English
