The project addresses a key challenge of modern industry: how to reliably and rapidly determine the mechanical properties of materials for use in numerical simulations. The objective is to develop pilot technology based on the principles of Material Testing 2.0 (MT2.0), which represents an advanced form of testing based on the analysis of full-field deformation using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and inverse methods for identifying material parameters.
The development includes all key components: a geometrically optimised specimen, a digital twin of the testing device, the mechanical and electronic testing apparatus, and integrated software that enables an automated testing procedure. The developed technology will be validated both in a laboratory environment and in an industrial setting (Danfoss), where cases will also be analysed in which standard MT1.0 tests are not feasible. Special emphasis will be placed on use with materials of higher value.
