Modelling of Dynamic Behaviour of Orthotropic Metals Including Damage and Failure
The work was funded by AWE, and resulted in the development of a new material model, integrated into AWE in-house codes, allowing them to model the response of orthotropic (anisotropic) metals including damage and failure under extreme loading, typical in AWE applications and important in many other automotive, aerospace and manufacturing processes. (Dr Graham Ball Graham.J.Ball@awe.co.uk). The process simulation ability of the model has led to additional funding from AWE (Simon Case - Simon.Case@awe.co.uk) (£150,000) for further improvement as a part of Prof Vignjevic’s AWE-sponsored William Penny Fellowship (recognition of excellence).
