We recently tested the mechanical properties of automotive rims made of carbon composites in our laboratory. ... more
Physical modelling
We offer the following services in physical modelling:
- Modelling of almost any temperature and deformation profiles on specimens for the purpose of optimising industrial processes, such as rolling, forging, extrusion, pressing, and others
- Simulations of the effects of forming process parameters on the resulting microstructure
- Comprehensive modelling of forming processes by means of combined physical and numerical simulations
Physical modelling of forming processes is carried out using a unique system in our laboratory. The system enables us to simulate a wide range of temperature and deformation profiles.
Basic parameters of physical simulator
- Heating rate: up to 150 °C/s
- Cooling rate: up to 150 °C/s
- Maximum frequency for cyclic loading: 30 Hz
- Maximum deformation rate: 600 mm/s
- Maximum force: 250 kN
