COURSE ON FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
One Day Course on Finite Element Method (4.12.2018, Liberec, Czech Republic) – the main objective of the course is to provide the basic on both theoretical and practical aspects on use of finite element method in textile engineering
The FEM course will be held in the PC room (building B, 3rd floor) further back the hall. The course starts at 9 o´clock.
COURSE OUTLINE
- introduction to finite element
- practical use of finite element method on macro and meso-scale
INVITED SPEAKER
 | Marco MAGLIULO |
| Institution: University of Luxembourg, Faculty of Science, Technology & Communication, Institute of Computational Engineering | |
| Research Interest: The research conducted by Marco Magliulo deals with computational modeling of fibrous materials taking into account their discrete character. In such models, each yarn of the textile is represented by an assembly of some finite elements such as springs or beams. Also, contact interactions between yarns are explicitly taken into account. While considering the small-scale character of the textile allows capturing complex localized phenomena (for example relative displacements of the yarns) difficult to represent otherwise, it is computationally costly. Consequently, the other topic of investigation of M. Magliulo is how to alleviate this computational burden by using some multi-scale methods like the Quasi-Continuum method, initially designed for atomistic computations. |
Short biography:
Marco Magliulo is a French material engineer currently doing his Ph.D. in computational mechanics at the University of Luxembourg. He is working since 2016 under the supervision of Dr. Beex and Pr. Zilian and focuses on the efficient modeling of textiles using the finite element method, taking into account contact interactions. As each yarn has a surface with a complex parametrization, the modeling of contact between yarns is nontrivial. He is also adapting to his models some numerical schemes developed by Dr. Beex (the so-called Quasi-Continuum method) to reduce the computational times associated with these expensive models without compromising their accuracy.
