High fidelity modeling and validation for next general military smart displays

加拿大通用动力公司是加拿大历史最悠久，最完善的国防承包商之一。65年来，他们一直为加拿大军队和世界各地的盟军提供生存所需的设备，并继续保持高水平。最初提出的项目是通过创建设备的高保真有限元（FE）模型来确定提高下一代军用智能显示器的结构性能和降低材料成本的方法。 拟定Engage Plus项目的目标是：（1）验证和校准MCP（金属涂层聚合物）材料的FE模型，该材料具有真实的复杂几何形状，可承受多种载荷情况;（2）构建整个智能显示器结构的精确模型，包括MCP材料和所有弹性和超弹性部件。

General Dynamics Canada is one of the longest standing, most well established defense contractors in Canada. For over 65 years, they have been providing the Canadian military and allied forces worldwide with the equipment they need to survive and continue to perform at a high level. The initial proposed project was to identify ways to improve structural performance and reduce material cost of the next generation of military smart displays, by means of creating high-fidelity finite element (FE) model of the devices. The objectives of the proposed Engage Plus project are (1) to validate and calibrate the FE model of the MCP (metal coated polymer) material with a real, complex geometry, subject to multiple loading cases, and (2) to build an accurate model of the entire smart display structure which includes the MCP material and all elastic and hyper-elastic parts.
