Micro Abstract:
The objective of this project is to simulate the 3D-printing of medical grade silicone to support patient specific implant development.
This requires the formulation of a thermodynamically consistent finite strain curing model, whereby a multiphysics approach for the mechanical, thermal and chemical fields is necessary. Due to the complexities of the manufacturing process, the Optimal Transportation Meshfree method is used to obtain a numerical solution.
