Guided industry project

Elasto-plastic material modelling and validation using LS-DYNA

In this project, you will learn how to validate the elasto-plastic material model with the given stress-strain data. You will learn the extraction and cleaning of the stress-strain data point from the given curve. Then you will study how to evaluate the hardening curve and give material parameters input to the LS-DYNA software. Finally, you will understand how to extract the stress-strain results from the simulation and compare it with the given data.

Elasto-plastic material modelling and validation using LS-DYNA

What will you do in this project?

You will be performing a tensile test on a dogbone specimen to validate the elasto-plastic material model.

  • Extract and clean the stress-strain data from the given experimental curve.
  • Evaluate the hardening curve from the extracted stress-strain data.
  • Set-up the tensile test case study by applying required boundary conditions in LS-PrePost.
  • Extract and analyse the stress-strain results in the post-processing phase
  • Compare and validate the stress-strain curve
