REFEM

program for statics according linear and non linear elasticity theory of structures

the inhouse program REFEM combines Boundary Element Methode with Finite Elemente Methode

REFEM especially is developed for calculations of asphalt road constructions and is based on inhouse program FALT-FEM

key points are

• tyre-road interaction
• combined Arbitrary Langrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation for tyres and road
• thermo-mechanical coupling
• material model for asphalt mixtures (elastical, viscoelastical and irreversible deformation parts)
