Finite Element Analysis Training Course for the Railway Industry

Unlike many metals and other standard engineering materials that can be simply modeled as linear-elastic materials, adhesives exhibit more complex types of mechanical behaviors when exposed to different loading conditions and thus require advanced testing and material calibration methods. 3M is uniquely positioned to characterize adhesive materials and provide advanced material models in a format compatible with a variety of finite element modeling software.

• Learn what FEA/FEM Finite Element Analysis is and its benefits to your Rail Solution.
• How FEA differs for Structural Adhesives and viscoelastic Tapes.
• What support 3M can give you to solve Challenges within the Rail Industry.
• Where to get more Information and specific Material Data Cards for products used within the Railway Industry.
