The governing parameters of the model were first established and suitable modelling materials were then selected.
During the first phase the partners developed this 'green-field' project from initiation through to target selection and modelling, computational screening, biological materials and assay preparation, culminating in the completion of initial experimental testing.
For a more detailed description of the modelling methodology see Supplementary Materials and Methods.
The proposition of complex hybrid system, dedicated to modelling of life cycle of materials and optimization of their in use properties, is presented in the paper.
Finally, extension of this work (including predictive modelling equipped with material and geometric nonlinearities) to decks with bonded anti-skid surfacings is discussed.
We can use our modelling framework and Bayes' theorem (see 'Materials and methods') to obtain a formula for this conditional probability, allowing a rigorous probability to be assigned to inferences from preimplantation sampling.
The paper intends to explain the main steps of such coupling and demonstrate its interests for material engineering, especially for constitutive modelling and composite materials optimization.
As this is fundamentally a predictive modelling approach, it should facilitate the improved design of materials and optimisation of component manufacture.
Subsequently, more advanced modelling approaches are covered: the intergranular strain concept incorporating the effects of small strain stiffness and cyclic loading, viscohypoplasticity for predicting rate effects, soil structure to represent structured and bonded materials and soil anisotropy.
In this paper, low cost but sufficiently accurate finite element (FE) models were generated in LS Dyna for several experimentally characterised materials by semi-automating the modelling process and using existing material models.
