CASMaT International Summer School on Advanced Structural and Material Testing


Technical University of Denmark


General course objectives:
To introduce the theory and concepts behind advanced multiscale testing of structures and materials – with a focus on composites materials and structures – and to allow the students to get hands on experience with the most important, advanced measuring techniques and methodologies.

Learning objectives:
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
  • Describe the purpose and importance of experimental mechanics investigations
  • Describe the basic principles of integrated testing and modeling
  • Describe the basic principles and benefits of virtual testing
  • Explain the basic principles of sensors (including strain gauges, accelerometers, fiber optical sensors) and measurement techniques (including acoustic emissions, thermography, digital image correlation) and implement these appropriately at different length scales
  • Classify and implement different materials characterization methods for composite systems (including SN curves, constant life diagram, damage development and accumulation)
  • Explain how to link experimental measurements with numerical simulations to apply hybrid testing techniques to a structural component test
  • Explain how to link experimental measurements with numerical simulations, to create a digital twin
  • Define a relevant multiscale test approach to evaluate the performance of a structure made of a specific material
  • Make predictions from one scale to another based on experimental data and modelling
  • Evaluate the behavior/performance of a full-scale wind turbine blade when exposed to mechanical loading

Contents:
Introductory lecture on the concepts of multi-scale testing. The main body of the course consists of 4 modules with a combination of lectures and hands-on experimental work: • Data acquisition and instrumentation. • The coupon scale: Advanced materials testing. • The subcomponent scale: Hybrid testing. • Full scale testing: Digital twinning. On the last day the physical presence on campus is concluded by assignment work and course evaluation. The course is supplemented by guest lectures on selected topics from international experts.
