Numerical simulation of composite materials and components

© Fraunhofer IWM

Numerical simulation is an important tool to reduce the experimental efforts associated with material and component development. Simulations of the microstructure of composites reinforced with fibers and particles enable a reliable prediction and optimization of the thermal and mechanical properties for modern materials such as long-fiber thermoplastics (LFT) and fiber ceramics. Structural components are designed such that the full lightweight potential of the material is employed.
