08 Chair of Mechanics
L aboratory for Numerical Modelling and Simulation LNMS
topics:
1. Digital image correlation (DIC) and database set-up for material characterisation
Description: Conventional characterisation of mechanical properties of materials is performed by standardised mechanical testing. However, recent improvements in optical techniques enable the development of modern characterisation methods based on full-field strain measurements, also known as information-rich experiments. A large amount of data is used then to identify model parameters, used in numerical analyses of structures. Activities encompass mechanical testing using the DIC technique and the set-up of database for data processing. Preferred knowledge: programming and computer skills. Info: Laboratory for Numerical Modelling and Simulation.
2. Numerical modelling and FEM analyses
Description: A loaded structure's thermomechanical response is commonly analysed in a virtual environment. A large variety of mechanical problems can be treated similarly: the behaviour of mechanical parts, a response of tissues in biomechanics, etc. Activities consist of numerical modelling of various mechanical and/or thermal problems and performing Finite Element Analyses (FEA) using the corresponding software. Prerequisites: basic knowledge of Abaqus or Ansys program. Info: Laboratory for Numerical Modelling and Simulation.
