3 Period II > 2016 VINNOVA ställer lägre krav på medfinansiering för SRA1 än det vanliga 50/50.

4 The arena New innovative lightweight materials and technologies are becoming increasingly complex often combining several materials in one structure. The manufacturing process can also be used to create graded properties within each class of materials enabling tailored properties at different regions of a component. Integration of materials science into computational mechanics and applied to integrated design of manufacturing process and product is necessary in order to achieve this.

5 Models enabling lightweight design Arena for SRA1 Experimental methods Mechanical testing Material characterisation TRL 1-4 Additional PhDstudent projects can be within SRA1 s arena or for higher TRL levels. Calibration of model parameters and their validation Material and process models Optimisation Innovative solutions Computational methods Constitutive models Microstructure model Thermodynamic modelling Mechanics Physics Materials Science Chemistry Reduced weight Better performance Faster development

7 The means: The nucleus Senior researchers Younger researchers Lars-Erik Lindgren, professor in Material Mechanics at Luleå University of Technology Leif Asp, adj professor in Light Weight Composite Materials and Structures at Chalmers University Lars Nyborg, professor in Surface Technology/Metallic materials at Chalmers University Janis Varna, professor in Polymeric Composite Materials at Luleå University of Technology Dan Zenkert, professor in Light Weight Design at the Royal Institute of Technology Roles: Scientific leaders of SRA 1, project leaders/supervise PhDs, coaches for younger researchers, teach in research school, make international impact by publications and international networking

8 The means: The nucleus Senior researchers Younger researchers Eight younger researchers expected started April Will devote about 35% of their time to SRA 1 and are expected to reach 60% in total as they will create additional projects within LIGHTer s theme. They have complementary competences and common focus. Roles: Project leaders/supervise PhDs, teach in research school, publications Martin Fagerström, CTH Martin Fisk, MaH Eduard Hryha, CTH Fang Liu, CTH Andrejs Pupurs, Ltu Malin Åkermo, KTH

9 The goals 1. Create a sustainable Swedish, multi-disciplinary research cluster in the area modelling and tools for virtual validation and verification of lightweight materials and structures considering their constituents, microstructure and processing. The models developed shall give efficient and reliable prediction of how these influence the material s process ability, properties p and thereby the properties of the final product. The cluster will consist of the champion (project leader), four senior and eight younger researchers. The first group will devote 20% and the younger researchers 40% of full time to R&D within the cluster. It is of particular importance to obtain a gender balance in the group of younger researchers. The cluster will initiate additional projects financed outside LIGHTer and form a larger network.
