Modeling Metallic Materials

Plenty of material models are available in LS-DYNA for describing the mechanical behavior of metallic materials. However, a profound understanding of the adopted material model is crucial for obtaining reasonable and reliable FE simulation results.

 

The aim of this class is to give practical guidelines about the application of the most commonly used material formulations. The focus will be especially on the underlying basic theory as well as on the assumptions made for the corresponding material formulations. Moreover, besides the practical information about particular input formats and the relevance of special settings, the algorithmic background of the various models will also be highlighted. Finally, diverse applications for the most commonly used metallic material models in LS-DYNA will be illustrated with the help of simple examples.
