Failure Predictions of Rubbers and Thermoplastics Using FEA
Outline [table id=6 /] This course is presented in two lecture sessions, running from 11 AM to 2 PM. Offline workshop support is available both days after the lecture segment, from 3 PM to 4 PM. [maxbutton id="5"] Goals This class provides an introduction to failure predictions of rubbers and thermoplastics using FEA. The training class is targeted to people with an interest in experimental testing and failure modeling of polymers using a finite element program. By the end of the class you will: Know the most common failure modes of engineering polymers. Know how to experimentally characterize the failure behavior of a polymer. Calibrate and run both simple and more advanced failure models within a FE simulation. Prerequisites The training class is indented for people with experience running…
