More about the project
Development of new products and containers can be facilitated by computer simulations, for instance simulations of the opening process of containers. Accurate computer simulations in turn require access to good material models for the materials in question.
The purpose of the project Modelling of injection-moulded polymers is to develop such models. These models may be used to predict the stress-strain relation of these materials and the models can also predict when failure will occur.
The research project is a collaboration between Linnaeus University, Malmö University, and Tetra Pak, which is a world leading company in the packaging industry.
