AMARETO-Dresden

Modeling of anisotropic, strongly coupled Thermo-mechanical behavior in Fiber-Reinforced PlasticS

© AMARETO

The new cluster network “Sächsische Allianz für MAterial- und RessourcenEffiziente TechnOlogie” - AMARETO was created to pool the competencies in the engineering fields material science, process developing and product technology from the Technical Universities Chemnitz, Freiberg and Dresden as well as the Fraunhofer IWU. The aim is, to provide high-end research that will support the industry in an outstanding manner especially in Saxony.

The purpose of the project is to generate smart connections between appropriate and efficient material design, assembly design and optimized production technology for the machinery, automotive and aerospace industry. To stay competitive it is beneficial to use lightweight hybrid materials consisting of metal and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) which have a promising future in all industrial branches.

Within the sub-project “Smart-Design” the Chair of Computational and Experimental Solid Mechanics develops multi-scale homogenization methods to analyze the structure as well as the manufacturing process of the metal component reinforced by composite materials. Together with members of the institutes of Manufacturing Science and Engineering (IF), Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK), and Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM) the research team at TU Dresden works on procedures for the design and the manufacturing process of the assembly.The Chair of Computational and Experimental Solid Mechanics will work on the following tasks:

• Modelling of the inelastic, coupled thermo-mechanic material behavior of the polymer matrix and the reinforcing fiber,

• Parametrization of the mechanical and thermal characteristics of the individual components as well as the composite,

• Development of multi-scale homogenization methods for characterization of the effective material behavior of the FRP,

• Combination of appropriate geometry, material and process models into an integrated analysis of the structure and the manufacturing process.
