FEM for the calculation of plastic and elastomer components

Standard Tool FEM

In the development process of technical plastic and elastomer components, the Finite Element Method is becoming increasingly important. Alongside experimental data and user experiences, simulation results often provide valuable assistance in assessing the technical performance of the planned product.

Comprehensive Practical Guide

The reader should be enabled to independently solve practical problems in a methodical and material-appropriate manner, as well as to evaluate the significance of a simulation.

Now in its 2nd edition: significantly expanded and completely revised - The topic of material modeling, particularly for injection-molded short-fiber reinforced components, has been expanded and updated (Chapter 2). - Chapter 3 significantly enhances the discussion on the strength assessment of thermoplastic plastic components.
