Creep is a time dependent deformation process that happens to materials under a certain stress level. However, with proper design and material choices, thermoplastics can be a suitable material for parts with a creep load. Predictability is key when designing load-bearing components. It reduces development time, enables first-time right design and ensures part performance in service. In this Use Case we evaluated an example of creep of a compression limiter. Focusing on the modelling of creep as function of time of injection molded short-glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (SFRP).
Fatigue is concerned with alternating or cyclic loads, even when the load levels are well below the strength of the applied material. Depending on the component, over time such a load will lead to part failure. Based on conducting extensive experiments, we developed a robust framework considering all essential aspects for fatigue. This Use Case focuses on results of our fatigue/lifetime modelling framework for injection molded glass-fiber reinforced plastics, using the example of the load bracket demonstrator.
Ventilator tubing is a bacterial breeding ground, increasing the risk of ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP). Many patients on ventilators in ICUs suffer from this. Most current breathing circuits are made from non-breathable materials. Thankfully, there is a material that enables permeation of moisture directly out through tubing walls. Envalior’s Arnitel® offers a superior engineering material solution with ultra-high moisture vapor transmission rates.
As radars become more compact in all three dimensions while operating at higher power, thermal management and EMI shielding solutions based on engineering materials solutions become more essential. Envalior offers a complete laser weldable material portfolio for radomes and back covers, ranging from pbt to low dk/df pps up to highly conductive pps compounds. While Envalior continues Xytron innovation, we also leverage the proven properties of Arnite PBT in radar applications.
Electrification is disrupting the automotive sector, particularly in the suspension systems of electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs). Traditional suspension design focuses on structure, materials, and tuning, but the increased weight of EV powertrains demands new approaches. EV suspensions must support up to 30% more weight compared to combustion vehicles, while balancing the need for agility, comfort, and superior driving experience. With advancements in modern electronics, the industry is now exploring the role of software in enhancing suspension performance, allowing for dynamic adjustments that improve ride quality and handling.
Learn how moisture absorption in polyamides affects material properties with our Moisture Diffusion Tool. The tool accurately models moisture uptake and release based on temperature and humidity, influencing factors like glass transition temperature and diffusion speed. Practical examples are provided to show how you can use the tool to optimize material performance.
