SIMLab - Structural Impact Laboratory

Awarded: NOK 80.0 mill.

-

Within the field of structural impact the CRI will concentrate on research areas that are of common interest to the user partners and hence create a link between Norwegian industry and some of the major actors on a global market, i.e. the automotive indus try. However, in order to meet the requirement for innovation and value creation in an international market, the Norwegian industry has to adopt new and original knowledge in product development . Here, an efficient modelling of the whole process chain, t hrough-process-modelling, is a key requirement for success where a strong coupling is made between materials, product forms, production process and the structural behaviour. In order to meet the future challenges in product development foreseen by the use r partners, a multidisciplinary approach is needed where researchers from the partners and academia contribute. This is only achievable through a centre activity with long term objectives and funding. The technology platform will be developed through adv ances in the following research areas: * Materials o Development of improved quantitative constitutive models and failure criteria for large scale analy-ses as well as identification methods * Solution techniques o Establishment of accurate and robust solution techniques for simulation of impact problems * Structures o Investigation of fundamental response mechanisms of generic components as well as the behaviour and modelling of joints. This research area will serve as a link between Materials, Solu tion tech-niques and Demonstrators. * Demonstrators o The interaction between the activities denoted Basic Research and Demonstrators is crucial with respect to validation and possible refinement of the technology developed in the centre.
