Materials characterisation and software tools as key enablers in Industry 5.0 and wider acceptance of new methods and products

Recently, the NMBP-35 Horizon 2020 projects -NanoMECommons, CHARISMA, and Easi-stress -organised a collaborative workshop to increase awareness of their contributions to the industry "commons" in terms of characterisation and digital transformation. They have established interoperability standards for knowledge management in characterisation and introduced new solutions for materials testing, aided by the standardisation of faster and more accurate assessment methods. The lessons learned from these projects and the discussions during the joint workshop emphasised the impact of recent developments and emerging needs in the field of characterisation. Specifically, the focus was on enhancing data quality through harmonisation and stand-ardisation, as well as making advanced technologies and instruments accessible to a broader community with the goal of fostering increased trust in new products and a more skilled society. Experts also highlighted how characterisation and the corresponding experimental data can drive future innovation agendas towards tech-nological breakthroughs. The focus of the discussion revolved around the characterisation and standardisation processes, along with the collection of modelling and characterisation tools, as well as protocols for data ex-change. The broader context of materials characterisation and modelling within the materials community was explored, drawing insights from the Materials 2030 Roadmap and the experiences gained from NMBP-35 pro-jects. This whitepaper has the objective of addressing common challenges encountered by the materials com-munity, illuminating emerging trends and evolving techniques, and presenting the industry's perspective on emerging requirements and past success stories. It accomplishes this by providing specific examples and high-lighting how these experiences can create fresh opportunities and strategies for newcomers entering the market. These advancements are anticipated to facilitate a more efficient transition from Industry 4.0 to 5.0 during the industrial revolution

Modelowanie ewolucji uszkodzenia w adhezyjnych układach metal-kompozyt dla różnej geometrii połączenia

A viscoelastic model with the Lemaitre-type damage is applied to simulate the mechanical behaviour of the contact zone of an adhesive aluminum/fiber-reinforced polymer specimen. The damage evolution in this light weight engineering structure is investigated. The joints of aluminium alloy 5754 (AA5754) and carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite CF-PA66 are manufactured by means of adhesion with an epoxy (1K-EP). The contact zone is considered as an interface material. The aim of the research is to study the influence of the interface geometry on the mechanical characteristics of the structure. The finite element method is used to simulate the complex processes in the joint. The aluminium substrate is modeled as an elastoplastic continuum with linear (isotropic) hardening. The polymer composite possesses an orthotropic elastic behaviour. A solid interface approach is used for the discretisation of the damage domain. It is shown that damage evolution depends on the geometry of the interface. The present work contains the numerical analysis of fracture processes in adhesive specimens with square, rectangular- and circle-shaped geometry of the joint.Lepkosprężysty model z uszkodzeniem typu Lemaitre'a jest stosowany w symulacji zachowania strefy kontaktu adhezyjnego w próbce glinu połączonego z polimerem zbrojonym włóknami. Badana jest ewolucja uszkodzenia w takiej lekkiej konstrukcji. Połączenia stopu glinu AA5754 i termoplastycznego kompozytu zbrojonego włóknami węglowymi CF-PA66 są wykonywane przy użyciu epoksydowej warstwy adhezyjnej 1K-EP. Strefa kontaktu jest traktowana jako materiał interfejsowy. Celem badań jest analiza wpływu geometrii interfejsu na własności mechaniczne próbki. Metoda elementów skończonych służy do symulacji skomplikowanych procesów zachodzących w połączeniu. Glin jest modelowany jako materiał sprężysto-plastyczny z liniowym wzmocnieniem izotropowym. Kompozyt polimerowy wykazuje ortotropowe zachowanie sprężyste. Przy dyskretyzacji warstwy adhezyjnej wykazującej uszkodzenie stosowane jest podejście interfejsu ciał stałych. Pokazano, że ewolucja uszkodzenia zależy od geometrii tego interfejsu. Praca zawiera analizę numeryczną procesu destrukcji próbek z kwadratowym, prostokątnym i okrągłym kształtem strefy adhezyjnej

Finite element analysis of an inelastic interface in ultrasonic welded metal/fibre-reinforced polymer joints

The ultrasonic welding technology is an innovative method to produce hybrid joints for multi-material components. In this contribution, the behaviour of an interface layer of metal/fibre-reinforced polymer single overlap tensile specimens is considered. The investigations are carried out using the ultrasonic metal welding technique (UMW) for joining carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRP) with aluminium alloys. An interfacial traction-separation-law based on elastoplasticity with Lemaitre-type damage is applied. The finite element method is used for the analysis of damage evolution. Two-dimensional interface elements are employed for modelling the solid interface in a 3-D problem. Numerical simulations are carried out for three different interface geometries: square, elongated rectangle and cross rectangle. It is shown that damage develops slower in the specimen with square interface than in the specimen with rectangle interface. The damage parameter reaches the maximum value in every loadstep in the specimen with cross-rectangle interface. Comparison with experimental data shows that the damage process and the fractured zone are identical to simulated results for the specimen with square interface
