Layered Polymer Mechanics Simulation
Budget: €12 – €18 EUR
I need a numerical simulation framework that captures the time-dependent mechanical response of layered polymer materials and highlights their failure mechanisms under a range of operating conditions. The final model should be generic enough to reuse on future studies yet detailed enough to give clear, defensible insight for current engineering decisions.
What the work involves
• Build or assemble a robust computational model of the multilayer polymer system.
• Set up and run a series of controlled simulation cases that probe different loading histories and modelling assumptions. Key outputs are failure initiation and progression, plus any supporting stress-strain data that explain them.
• Post-process the simulations into concise plots, tables, and visualisations that make comparison straightforward.
• Summarise findings in a short, well-documented report: methodology, assumptions, validation checks, and conclusions tied to real-world engineering choices.
Acceptance criteria
– Parametric model file(s) with clear instructions for rerunning or extending the study
– Complete dataset of simulation runs, including all input decks and processed results
– Report (PDF or Word) that interprets the data, compares scenarios, and pinpoints the governing failure mechanisms in the layered polymer stack
If you have recent experience with polymer failure analysis, viscoelastic or viscoplastic material laws, and can package the work so it is easily audited and reused, I would be happy to discuss timelines and any additional details you need before getting started.
