Modelling of local failure mechanisms and macroscopic strength properties of HyPo-materials (A02)

Subject Area Mechanics
Term since 2024
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 511263698
 

Project Description

HyPo-materials possess a complex microstructure, which significantly determines the local and macroscopic deformation and failure behaviour. The project aims at developing simulation methods to capture the damage and to predict strength and fracture parameters. A phase field method for fracture is used and implemented in the framework of finite element method. Local damage mechanism as well as global material properties are compared to experimental observations and measurements.
