“MacroModelMat” (M3) - Macro-level predictive modeling, design & optimization of advanced lightweight material systems http://www.sim-flanders.be/ Targeted breakthroughs and progress beyond the state of the art: • Develop efficient predictive modeling for macro-level quasi-static, fatigue, crush, crashworthiness. • Linking meso-level damage analysis to macro-level damage analysis • Macro-scale composites modeling for UD, NCF & textile composites • Modeling effect of imperfections (from manufacturing or pre-damage) in textile & NCF composites • Development of suitable CAE models for joining technologies for novel and advanced materials • Basic mechanical properties simulation of AM components with CAE (stiffness, strength & NVH). • Develop fast simulation strategies for vibro-acoustic analysis of lightweight material systems • Virtual material characterization for multi-attribute model parameters of composites & LW materials. • Develop a new hybrid joining. Assess feasibility of ‘bonding/debonding on demand.
