Designing and modelling novel composite materials: FiBreMoD
http://fibremodproject.eu
Limiting the climate change-induced temperature increase to less than 2°C will require strong reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Lightweight materials and fibre-reinforced composites in particular, are a key enabling technology to achieve this goal.
The 9 beneficiaries and 3 partner organisations in FiBreMoD aim to train 13 researchers to become multi-talented and interdisciplinary researchers that will be highly coveted in the field of composites. These researchers will advance state-of-the-art composite failure models to reach the required levels of accuracy and develop advanced and industry-friendly characterisation techniques for measuring the required input data. The goal will be to enable blind predictions, which means that parameter fitting or tuning of the models is no longer required.
