O Uso da simulação computacional nos processos de caracterização térmica de materiais

Abstract

When designing a new product or technological renewal related to the materials used in the construction of an existing one, we must consider all the physical characteristics of these materials. It is of paramount importance that such characteristics such as durability, toughness, strength, plasticity and elasticity, are conserved during the manufacturing process and ultimately inherited by the products. Allied to the fact of the scarcity of material resources, due to the rarity inherent in some and the costs of obtaining others, materials are always required to be tested to ensure physical characteristics are consistent with both data from the literature or the supplier, as well as the data expected or requested by the product designers. Unfortunately, not all tests are non-destructive, nor are levels of reliability with few tests. This paper aims to demonstrate that computational simulation technologies come to the aid of this problem because it is possible that as well as Computer-aided Engineering or Multibody and Multiphysics Simulations, verify the possibility of adequacy of certain materials, specifically the need for a particular product.
