Kurssin kuvaus

Objectives

The course goes through the theory of plastic deformation and flow stress models for advanced FEM simulations. The course uses Abaqus FEM environment. After the course, students know the theory of advanced FEM analysis and elastic-plastic material behaviour. Students can simulate material forming processes like forging, cutting, sheet metal forming and shearing. Students can evaluate the capabilities, limits and accuracy of the simulations.

General goals
Students remember the theoretical aspects of advanced FEM analysis and material modelling.
Students can apply the theoretical knowledge to cases presented in the course.
Students can apply the theoretical knowledge to other cases than just those presented in the course.

Professional goals
Student can use some commercial FEM solver in advanced problems.
Students can independently develop new models in some commercial FEM solver.
Students can develop user subroutines to advanced problems that are not directly supported by some FEM solver.

Transferable goals
Students can read and understand technical FEM reports and models.
Students can write technical reports based on FEM model result.
Students can evaluate the cost and accuracy of the FEM model for different modelling cases.
