Simulation of a tensile test using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)

Author: Christian Nutto
The video shows the simulation of a tensile test. The tensile specimen is shown in a half-section. The color scheme represents the plastic strain occurring during the strain. The end of the videos shows a stress-strain diagramm o ... more

SPH simulation of a particle impact on a ductile target

Author: Christian Nutto
The sequence shows an impacting body on a ductile target made of Al6061-T1. The impacting body is assumed to be ideally hard. The impact velocity is $45 \mathrm{m/s}$ and is tilted $51^°$ from the horizontal axis. The spacing of ... more

Distortion of a complex shaped thin ceramic film during sintering on a rigid substrate simulated by Discrete Element Method

Author: Tobias Rasp
Particle-based simulations using the discrete element method were applied for the sintering of thin ceramic films that are constrained by a rigid substrate. The inhibition of lateral particle movement in vicinity of the substra ... more

Spray drying of single drops/granules

Author: Thomas Breinlinger
Spray drying is a process used to transform fine primary powder into larger granules which provide better characteristics (e.g. flowability, pressability etc.). Our simulations focus on the evolution of the microstructure of the i ... more
