Peeling of metal foil from a compliant substrate

Abstract Large displacement peel was studied for cases where a compliant substrate leads to a large value of the root rotation. An existing simplified beam model to calculate the peel fracture energy was modified to allow for a kinematic hardening beam model of the foil. The steady-state peel force and the root rotation were used […]

Simulation-driven design, Projects 2017

Modelling and simulation is today a natural part of engineering design in businesses of all types and sizes. However, transition from simulation as primary a tool for verifying solutions that are already decided upon towards use of simulation to stimulate creation of new concepts and provide guidance towards more optimized designs, especially in early development […]

New course: MT2549 Simulation-driven design

This autumn we’ll offer a new course for our master students, Simulation-driven design. In a simulation-driven design (SDD) process, decisions related to the behavior and the performance of the design are significantly supported by computer-based product modelling and simulation. Rather than just verifying solutions that are already decided upon, SDD support dialogues with customers, stimulate […]

Focus on optimal designs

Modelling and simulation is today a natural part of engineering design in businesses of all types and sizes. However, transition from simulation as primary a tool for verifying solutions that are already decided upon towards use of simulation to stimulate creation of new concepts and provide guidance towards more optimized designs, especially in early development […]
