Goals of WPC as formulated in the project plan SOTA assessment of software platforms Done my Master thesis at ÅF. Although only considering LS-DYNA and a small part of RADIOSS Master thesis: Andersson M, Liedberg P (2014). Crash behavior of composite structures - A CAE benchmarking study. Master thesis at Chalmers University of Technology. available on the project server and Chalmers publication library Implementation of constitutive models and the shell element of WPB into commercial software platforms The academic and institute partners deliver basic software routines to be further implemented by the software companies into their specific platforms Results: Constitutive models implemented in Abaqus VUMAT format at SICOMP LS-DYNA wrapper available Soon official VUMAT functionality in LS-DYNA 9
Goals of WPC as formulated in the project plan Benchmark test development and model validation development of two main crash events: front crash member and a side crash protection beam Done! Swerea SICOMP, will define the considered composite system and the consequent coupon manufacture. Done! AB Volvo is going to carry out characterization and coupon testing Done! VCC is going to work with component manufacturing and dynamic crash failure testing. Done! 10
WPD dissemination Contribute with results in international conferences, journal paper publication and the producing of 2 Lic. Eng. theses. Results in terms of publications: 1 licentiate of engineering thesis (second one to be presented in November 2016) 4 journal papers out of which 2 are still under review (see WPA and WPB) 3 conference publications 7 conference presentations two technical reports (Literature review on crash modelling and material model description) and four master thesis reports (see above) 11
