Virtual testing and digital twin models for Industry4.0 - PhD positions and industrial cooperations
Virtual testing is an established methodology in computational mechanics to accelerate the design of new materials and components. Nonetheless, there is plenty of room to transfer such methods in R&D departments of SMEs.
Recently, digital twin models come into play, and they are opening even more perspectives to incorporate computational mechanics and optimization towards the realization of digital models of real production lines.
A recent demonstrator of those technologies has been recently realized in Italy, see:
