Background
MATFEM was founded in 1993 and is
focussed on accurate material modelling in
finite element analyses (FEA). Today there
are three branches:
FEM Services offers consulting
in FEA with focus on non-linear material behaviour.
CommonLab offers the
characterisation of metallic and polymeric materials for
FEA and cooperates with seven partner labs for the
experimental work. SoftMat
develops material models for FEA. The main software
product is the modular material model MF GenYld
+ CrachFEM, which is compatible with several
commercial explicit-dynamic FEA codes. Principal
areas of application are sheet metal forming and
crashworthiness of metals, polymers and composites.
Conference
From 2010 to 2019, five MATFEM Conferences were
held as single-day events.
The 6th MATFEM Conference will be expanded to one
and a half days. Material scientists,
experts in material testing, experts in material
mechanics and CAE users from the industry
are invited to contribute.
We plan to have five sessions with three lectures each
and with enough time for discussion. Lecturers should address:
- new material developments that lack
adequate material modelling;
- new or improved methods for testing
metals, polymers, composites or glass;
- methods to identify material parameters;
- new material models for sheet-metal
forming and crashworthiness simulation;
- case studies with MF GenYld + CrachFEM
in research or industry projects or
- examples of process chains, e.g. forming
to crash, casting to crash, mould filling to
crash
Call for papers
We are looking for speakers for the 6th
MATFEM Conference. Your contribution
should address material modelling in general,
material testing or projects involving the
material model MF GenYld + CrachFEM.
Lectures should not exceed 20 minutes. This
does not include subsequent discussion. The
talk itself and the accompanying documents
should be in English.
Please submit a one-page abstract of your
lecture by Wednesday, 14 February. We will
notify you by Monday, 21 February whether
your proposal has been accepted. Accepted
speakers attend the conference free of
charge.
The attendees will receive proceedings consisting
of a booklet of abstracts and presentation hand-outs
in electronic form. Please
send us your final presentation as Powerpoint
or PDF file by 5 April.
Your contact for abstracts, presentations and
questions concerning the lectures is
