Learning outcomes |
This course aims to apply the concepts of continuum mechanics in structural simulations, considering large deformations, in the case of metals, polymers, or elastomers. By the end of the course, students should be able to:
-Explore various constitutive models for the mechanical design of structures subjected to large deformations using materials with hyperelastic, elastoplastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic mechanical behavior.
-Extend the use of the adopted commercial software (ANSYS) to perform stress and strain analysis applied to real engineering design cases, using various constitutive models.
-Analyze and interpret the simulation results.
-Identify the important material parameters in each of the studied constitutive models, and how to inversely calibrate them from experimental results.

Syllabus |
1 – Obtaining material parameters by inverse calibration from mechanical tests: quasi-static monotonic tests, cyclic tests, creep and relaxation tests, mechanical tests at different temperatures.
2 - Design of components and structures made from materials with non-linear mechanical behavior.
3 - Convergence analysis and mesh refinement.
4 - Final technical report.
