Dr. Sean Teller taught an online, 90-minute course on High Rate Mechanical Testing of Polymer Materials for Finite Element Simulation. He explained how to overcome challenges when conducting high-rate mechanical testing of polymer materials to produce accurate results and successful simulations, including:
- factors that influence the choice to conduct material tests at higher rates and what test methods are available
- how to transform test data effectively into material models for finite element simulation
- examples of material data, test methods, and material calibration.
Specifically, course attendees learned how to:
- interpret extensive data sets to extract meaningful information for acquisition and analysis
- model the complex behaviors of polymers accurately for reliable finite element simulations
- integrate high-rate test data into finite element simulation models, enhancing your ability to predict and optimize material performance.
The course took place April 17, 2024 and was offered by SpecialChem/Omnexus.
