Fatigue of composites 3D x-ray tomography Compression strength of composites Finite element method Material characterisation Non-linear material modelling
Fields of interest: My field of interest is numerical finite elements simulations and experimental characterization of polymer matrix composites where the focus is on the fatigue and compression behavior of wind turbine blade materials. A work involving the use of the commercial FE-code Abaqus together with user-defined subroutines as well as advanced characterization technics such as 3D x-ray tomography. Has throughout the years worked with non-linear buckling and collapse of shell structures relevant for crash-worthiness applications as well as tensile instabilities simulations used in necking predictions during hydro-forming and strain gradient dependent plasticity models. Has as well been involved in a number of medico inspired problems as well as in general finite element based projects predicting the influence of non-linear materials behavior on the structural behavior.
