Multi-scale modeling of single step manufacturing of Metal - Polymer - Metal sandwich structures with fiber-reinforced core

Present day composite materials find their application in most of the engineering fields due to their strength, weight and specific properties based on the application. This project particularly involves in the constitutive modeling of polymer material (PA6) with the help of thermo-mechanical experiments and mainly focuses on the validation of single step manufacturing of sandwich structures with fiber-reinforced core material through FE² (Multi-scale) approach. Special emphasis is made for the development of this multi-scale numerical approach.
