Looking back on a successful SIM Materials Forum 2022
On May 11th, the 2022 edition of the annual SIM Materials Forum took place with a new name and a very successful edition! SIM is pleased to look back on a great event.
SIM User Forum celebrates eighth edition with brand new name
The annual SIM event on materials innovation is back! This year’s edition of the SIM User Forum will take place on 11 May. Only this year with a brand-new name: SIM Materials Forum.
SIMBA: all solid state Li-batteries
Sustainable and Innovative Materials for Batteries: the ambition is to bundle knowhow and effort to create a local battery ecosystem, which enables value creation and jobs in Flanders by the time generation 4 batteries (all solid-state, ASSB) break through.
MARES: recycling of industrial residues
Recycling of ‘Materials from solid and liquid industrial process Residues’. The aim is at creating and demonstrating an operational, flexible toolbox to recover metals and valorize residual matrix into building materials.
MADUROS: durability of metal structures
Material durability and modelling of the loading of metals in an environment causing degradation (corrosion, abrasion, fatigue).
M3: macro-level modelling
MacroModelMat: Macro-level predictive modeling, design and optimization of advanced light weight material systems.
H-INT-S: composites modelling
Looking at soft/hard matter composites to establish a knowledge base for an intelligent design of functional polymer-based composites.
STREAM: additive manufacturing
The performance of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes of STRuctural Engineering materials strongly depends on optimal printing material properties and printing parameters, supported by specifically developed monitoring and simulating software tools.
