Description:

The formation of promising markets for new PCM products related to civil engineering and infrastructure applications and technologies is impossible without providing developers and manufacturers with the certification tools of recognized by the competent authorities.

Existing approaches to the certification of PCM products are mostly based on costly full-scale tests where only unique copies of the product prototype are subjected to the tests. Due to structural heterogeneity of PCM, technological defects, random service damage and environmental effects the properties of the tested copies can differ from the actual properties of mass serial products under real service conditions.

Virtual tests of PCM products provide implementation of the actual scatter of the material properties and variations of real service conditions into the validated digital model. This approach allows obtaining more reliable assessment of the properties of the product fleet. Performing of the similar amount of full-scale tests of products is not possible even theoretically. The shift of emphasis towards virtual tests is a worldwide trend.

In the Project, the virtual testbeds will be created, including (1) software for generating of fleet of the product digital models with varying material properties and service conditions, (2) finite-element software, and (3) software for processing and analyzing of results of the calculations.

This approach reduces the amount of the full-scale tests of products up to the minimum reasonable amount needed only for the validation of the basic digital model of the product. Thus, the amount of the full-scale certification tests could be reliably reduced by 2-3 times. This ensures a reduction about 3 times in financial and time costs for developers and manufacturers to certify their products.

The competent authorities provide expert support for the development, application and standardization of digital models and virtual testbeds for accelerated certification of PCM products.

The project team has a positive experience of a development and promotion of international regulations regarding application PCM to highly responsible structures. As example, we participate in working groups of ECOSOC Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods of the UN for development and justification of new sub-chapters of Model Regulations regarding design, manufacturing, testing and certification of Fibre-Reinforced Plastics (FRP) portable tanks.
