Full Qualification & Development Packages
All tests are further grouped into packages to provide direct feed & calibration of most material cards used in commercial FEA solvers, as well as prominent deformation & failure material models!
Hardening
Regardless of the plasticity scenario you are dealing with, we provide hardening data that goes well beyond conventional tension testing to cover shear deformation as well as balanced biaxial tension deformation
Anisotropic Yield Function
The breadth and detail level of our uniaxial tension, shear, and balanced biaxial tension testing data can be used to calibrate a host of simple as well as complex anisotropic yield functions to address the various material grades
Strain Rate Sensitivity
With mi-DATA, you can account for rate effects in your Forming & Crash simulations … not only on the strength level, but also ductility, hardening parameters, anisotropy parameters and even fracture strains
Forming
Comprehensive necking-based forming limit curve (FLC) points, as well as failure points, are provided for the full range of biaxial loading paths encountered within the majority of sheet forming scenarios
Fracture (GISSMO)
Regardless whether it is a forming or a crash simulation, we provide high-fidelity fracture DATA to allow you to calibrate prominent fracture models, including those with dependency on stress-triaxiality
Springback Prediction
One of the most challenging aspects of FEA for die design, springback prediction, is made easier with a suite of tests that can deliver the DATA needed for calibrating complex Kinematic Hardening models (such as Yoshida-Uemori)The exceptional material testing services we have been offering are taken to a whole new level!
