ITAINNOVA Experience as a Materials Modelling Translator

Materials modelling activities for the industry have been one of the key lines of activity from ITAINNOVA foundation in 1985, allowing us to build expertise covering the development, implementation, characterization and validation of material models for different types of materials (metals, plastics, elastomers, paper,...) and behaviours (elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity, hyperelasticity, damage, fatigue...). These models are used in the day-to-day work to analyze material transformation processes and the functional behaviour of components at the macro scale in hundreds of industrial applications. This document tries to give our vision in the translation role to bring together industrial needs with modelling capabilities.
