Matsuda Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that analyzes the mechanical properties of composite materials at multiple scales.
AboutAbout the lab
Using computation to explore the mechanical properties of light, strong materials.
The Matsuda Lab analyzes and evaluates the mechanical properties of advanced solid materials, such as composite materials and cellular structures, using multiscale simulation.
These materials are lightweight and high-strength, and are attracting attention as environmentally friendly materials that can dramatically improve energy efficiency.
Targeting subjects such as composite structures in aircraft engines, the lab also takes part in national projects and in joint research with other universities, companies, and research institutions.
Key terms
- CFRP
- Carbon fiber reinforced plastic. A lightweight, strong composite material that is attracting attention as a material for fan blades
- Multiscale simulation
- A method of computationally investigating the behavior of materials and structures by linking viewpoints at different scales, such as micro, meso, and macro
- Uncertainty
- The ambiguity that accompanies simulation results. It needs to be taken into account from the viewpoint of quality assurance
ResearchResearch themes
Advanced solid materials, represented by composite materials and cellular structures, are lightweight and high-strength, and are attracting attention as environmentally friendly materials that can dramatically improve energy efficiency. The lab uses multiscale simulation techniques to analyze and evaluate the mechanical properties of these materials.
*Illustrative imageSimulation that accounts for uncertainty
In engineering simulation, establishing modeling methods that account for uncertainty is urgently needed. Through joint research with other universities, the lab has proposed and demonstrated probabilistic methods that extend conventional deterministic multiscale methods, and aims to develop applications and practical systems.
*Illustrative imageDesign analysis of next-generation jet engines
CFRP is attracting attention as a material for jet engine fan blades, but the lack of established durability evaluation is one barrier to practical use. Through joint research with JAXA, IHI, and others, the lab aims to establish evaluation techniques by developing life prediction technology and acquiring durability data.
*Illustrative imageNew simulation methods for composite structures
To design and develop composite structures for aircraft and similar uses with high accuracy and efficiency, the lab works on areas such as inelastic material modeling of fiber-reinforced composites that fully links the micro, meso, and macro scales. It aims to contribute to energy saving in aircraft through airframe weight reduction.
*Illustrative imageSimulation of composites for aircraft engines
Weight reduction of aircraft engines is being advanced centered on the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and others. To promote the introduction of composite structures, one of the key solutions, the lab works on developing multiscale analysis technology for composite structures through joint research with JAXA, IHI, and others.
