Structural Materials Modelling

In the ever-evolving realm of engineering and materials science, structural materials modelling has emerged as a crucial field, enabling us to design, analyse, and predict the behaviour of materials and structures under varying conditions. This multifaceted discipline plays a pivotal role in meeting the ever-increasing demands on predictive accuracy, especially as the complexity of structural systems rises. We offer a platform for a professional exchange of international experts on safety relevant applications in power plants, process engineering, pressure vessels, pipelines, automotive, railway, aircraft, maritime, plant & civil engineering, as well as renewable energy. Both, techniques for components with cracks and assessment approaches for flawless components are covered.

Techniques include, for instance, finite element method (FEM and XFEM), atomistic methods, phase-field modelling, scale-bridging, coupled simulations, complex boundary conditions, high speed or impact modelling, analytical models, new methods or material models as well as probabilistic approaches. Numerical investigations are validated using experiments.
