Modelling Deformation and Crack Propagation in MMC Under Compressive Load Using DIGIMAT and ABAQUS

Description

This is an advanced training course designed for engineers and researchers who want to learn deformation behavior of metal matrix composites (MMCs) under compressive loads. This course covers the use of two powerful simulation tools, DIGIMAT and Abaqus, to model the compressive behavior and crack propagation in MMCs. The first part of the course provides an overview of metal matrix composites and their applications. It covers the basic properties of MMCs and the factors that affect their behavior under compressive loads. The damage model for Aluminum and the reinforcement is calculated and explained using excel sheet. The second part of the course focuses on the use of DIGIMAT, a specialized software for modeling the mechanical behavior of composite materials.

Participants will learn how to use DIGIMAT to create the 3D geometry of MMC using volumetric combination of 90%AL-10%Ti3alc2 The third part of the course focuses on the use of Abaqus, a powerful finite element analysis software. Participants will learn how to use Abaqus to create finite element models of MMCs under compressive loads. They will also learn how to simulate crack propagation in MMCs using Abaqus. Throughout the course, participants will work on hands-on exercises that will help them develop their skills in modeling the behavior of MMCs under compressive loads. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of the behavior of MMCs under compressive loads and the skills needed to model this behavior using DIGIMAT and Abaqus. If you are an engineer or researcher who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the behavior of MMCs under compressive loads and the skills needed to model this behavior, then this course is for you!
