Multi-scale materials modelling
- Finite Element Simulations from micro-scale to macro-scale.
- Development of material user subroutines for the simulation of complex material behavior (plasticity, cyclic plasticity, temperature assisted diffusion, local approach modelling of fracture,…)
- Modelling of physical changes of microstructure, such us hydrogen embrittlement in metals.
- Modelling of constitutive equation of materials (such as Gurson model,…)
- Modelling at specimen level, to connect different scale levels
- Finite element simulation of real components, including contacts, assembly of components, friction, …
- Steady state thermal analysis
- Mechanical-thermal coupled analysis
Materials characterization, additive manufacturing
- Testing capabilities: Wide range of dynamic testing machines from 0.1N to 250kN for the characterization of mechanical properties: conventional characterization, fatigue, fatigue crack growth, fracture, creep,... Range of temperatures from -100ºC to 1100ºC.
- Micromechanical characterization.
- Small scale specimen testing.
- Residual stress measurements in components using Hole Drilling techniques, RX techniques,…
- Additive manufacturing techniques capabilities: Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
- Equipment for additive manufacturing with reinforcement of short fiber of carbon and long fiber of different materials (glass, kevlar, carbon...).
- Equipment for the post-processing of material through high hydrostatic pressure (up to 6000bar).
