CAE Analysis Simulations Baseline Data for Product Design

To reduce weight and fuel costs in the automotive industry and other transportation equipment markets, the use of plastics and
composite materials has increased. Due to the superior workability of plastics compared to metals, many parts that were made of
metal are now being made of plastics. However, plastics are not as resistant as metals to heat and shock.
For this reason, new materials are continually being developed and these materials need to be tested.
Additionally, in order to improve the ef ciency of development, the manufacturing technique is simulated during the design stage,
so the accuracy of these processes is very important.
An improvement in the simulation accuracy can be expected by making use of yield stress, maximum test force, and energy
obtained through high-speed tensile testing.
The HITS-X high-speed tensile testing machine is capable of control at speeds up to a maximum of 20 m/s (72 km/h). By combining
a high-response force detector, a volumetric displacement gauge resistant to vibration and impacts, and software that minimizes
vibrational noise, sophisticated data with very little noise can be obtained.

The model allows obtaining baseline high speed The model allows puncture testing materials using impact
deformation behavioral data for materials by tensile testing materials at speeds that are freely selectable. Puncture impact testing involves puncturing a
freely selectable tensile speeds. It incorporates a newly developed high at plate specimen with a striker that has a semi-spherical tip. This testing
response detector and a vibration resistant volumetric displacement machine allows various data, such as test force vs. displacement curves, max. test
meter, which allow obtaining highly accurate data with minimal force values, energy, and displacement to be obtained easily.
