Bespoke Material Characterisation
Dynamic material testing under rapid deformation requires constant expert input to overcome engineering challenges. Even common engineering materials can exhibit behaviour that becomes highly complex under rapid loading conditions or unusual ambient conditions.
Synbiosys offers the knowledge and experience to identify and characterise the materials needed for highly demanding environments. We develop bespoke material preparation and testing methodologies to provide the highest possible precision and accuracy.
With this data, Synbiosys can also develop and/or validate material models at laboratory scale.
Bespoke Material Modelling
Synbiosys provides extensive material modelling expertise and experience across many classes of materials including common engineering materials, cellular materials, soft viscoelastic materials and brittle materials. We use material characterisation data, such as raw stress strain curves, to formulate material model parameters for commercial FEM software including Abaqus, AutoDyne and LS-DYNA.
