Precision characterisation of nonlinear mechanical behaviour of reinforced and unreinforced polymeric materials for engineering simulations (2020-1.1.2-PIACI-KFI-2021-00314)

Project ID: 2020-1.1.2-PIACI-KFI-2021-00314

Project description:

In the research and development project of eCon Engineering Ltd. and the University of Pannonia, the development focuses on modern materials, particularly elastomers and continuous fibre-reinforced polymer composites. In many cases, the mechanical behaviour of these materials cannot be modelled using the well-known approaches developed for metals. More complex and higher-level approaches should be used to characterize the highly nonlinear and sometimes orientation-dependent behaviour. The parameters of these models are difficult to determine due to their complexity. In order to use these sophisticated material models reliably in computer-aided virtual product design, material parameter fitting algorithms are needed that include as little simplification as possible, and that can handle the statistical uncertainty of material behaviour. Examples of parameter fitting of these models can be found in the scientific world, but they only work well for particular cases. Today, the gap between scientific approaches and industrial applicability is too large for the approaches used in the scientific world to be used in day-to-day engineering simulation and development work.
