Measurement-based characterization and prediction of ductile and cyclic damage interaction at the macroscale (B01)

• Subject Area: Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials and their Microstructural Origins
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 278868966

In subproject B01 an electrical-magnetic measurement and sensor system for the characterization of forming process-induced damage for the analysis of the interaction and separation of cyclic damage mechanisms shall be established and validated. The interpretation of measurement results will be made possible by experiments on the microscale and by the use of an electro-mechanically coupled multi-scale formulation (FE²) to be developed. The material models are calibrated based on experimental data and electro-mechanically coupled interface elements are developed.
