Description

In this symposium 4 professors Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science of the TU/e (Eindhoven), TUD (Delft), University of Twente and RWTH Aachen will give a presentation on recent developments in their research groups in the fields of simulation based Engineering, including the role of materials.

This concerns modeling, simulation, design and the experimental verification at different length scales, whereby the role of the underlying materials is particularly highlighted. Much of the research is done as indirect or direct support for industrial needs.

The program includes a Lab Market, where the Multiscale lab will open its doors and demonstrate modern experimental capabilities at the TU/e that are used in support of the simulation based activities. This lab allows for quantitative in-situ microscopic measurements during deformation and mechanical characterization of a broad class of materials, structures, MEMS, etc. on a wide range of length scales. It therefore constitutes the main source for all experimental research on various mechanical aspects of materials within the range of 10-9-10-2m
