Material Characterization for Metals / Polymers and Foams

Overview

This introductory class is designed for attendees who would like to gain deep insight into the process of material characterization in LS-DYNA. The class provides a brief overview of all available materials models available in LS-DYNA, followed by familiarizing attendees with several tests to capture key mechanical properties.

Learning Outcome

• Learn about testing Procedures for Uni-Axial, and proportional loading
• Review of Metal Plasticity
• Review of onset of Necking and Instability
• Review of Elastomers and its properties
• Review of Recoverable and Structural Foams
• Know more of the best practices of Material Characterization

Prerequisites
