High Strain Rate Modelling as the Driver to the Zero Prototype Engineering Goal
Develop, for conditions of high strain rate, more reliable numerical models of failure mechanisms of aluminium and its associated joining systems.
Aims
To develop practicle, rate dependant material and failure models for sheet and extruded aluminium and associated jointing systems.
