Research/coordinator in internal ballistics (H/F/M) (BSP)
Offer DescriptionIn the framework of a collaboration between the Royal Military Academy (Belgium Defense) and the “Commission Internationale Permanente” (C.I.P.), we are looking for an experienced research scientist/engineer with a Master degree and/or a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electro-Mechanical engineering or any Engineering degree with emphasis on Mechanical Engineering.ContextThe Royal Military Academy of Belgium (RMA) is a military institution responsible for the basic academic, military and physical training of future officers, and for the continuing advanced training of officers during their active career in the Belgian Defense department ( ). It is fully recognized as a university, fulfilling the same criteria as civilian universities. The Royal Military Academy is also conducting scientific research at university level for projects funded by the Belgian Defense department or external sources.The “Commission Internationale Permanente” (C.I.P.) for the proof of small caliber weapons is an international organization gathering 14 countries, developing and implementing standards and procedures for testing every individual small calibre weapons recognized by this institution, in order to guarantee the reliability of the weapon and the shooter safety.You work within the department of Weapon Systems and Ballistics of the Faculty of Polytechnics of the Royal Military Academy. You conduct scientific research at university level and collaborate with the C.I.P. on the framework of internal ballistic evaluation of small calibre weapons.ProjectIndividual small calibre firearms are one of the most common equipment used by the Belgian Defence. Vital parts of a small calibre firearm are the barrel and the combustion chamber. During a shot, the barrel undergoes severe mechanical, thermal, and chemical loads that will potentially jeopardize its reliability, its efficiency, and possibly the safety of the user if not dimensioned and tested correctly. In consequence, the C.I.P. has standardized dimensions and tolerances that a small calibre firearm should fulfil in order to be recognized. It has also established repeatable and standardized procedures consisting in testing the weapon with an overpressure in order to be labeled. Every individual small calibre firearm produced or used within a member country is proofed through these standards and procedures. The permanent office of the C.I.P. is busy with constant research and development for guaranteeing that the proposed methodologies are in accordance with the state of the art concerning internal ballistics. One the one hand, it consists in refining and developing new techniques for measuring the firearm dimensions and testing the weapon with an over pressured shot, and on the other hand interacting and collaborating with the proof houses conducting the tests in order to compare results, and consequently refine and improve the procedures of the test. The proposed project consists in working at the Royal military academy in the Weapon Systems and Ballistics (ABAL) department, supporting the permanent office of the C.I.P. in these two activities. The researcher will interact both with the C.I.P. through several meetings a year and will integrate a small team of 3 persons conducting in internal ballistics at the department level.Main Tasks
