NordPoly: Thermal Aging, Crack Formation, Vibration
A solver for Thermal Aging + Crack Formation + Vibration:
NordPoly is an Al-driven high-performance high-fidelity finite element aging analyzer with nonlinear capabilities specifically designed to calculate the loss of performance over certain periods for samples exposed to multiple combinations of degradation through thermal aging vibration that has the capability to predict crack formation in the polymers.
Our model can be used to describe restrained, partially restrained, and unrestrained homogeneous polymeric material, and composite structures. It can also perform loss of mechanical integrity, crack formation, remaining end-life, and modes of damage. It features a comprehensive library of lower- and higher-order finite elements for structural computations and uses a family of Al-driven Accelerator engines that allow massively scalable computations on HPC systems. NordPoly is compatible with FEA solvers such as Abaqus, Ansys and MOOSE.
