Dr. R Mukhopadhyay to Inaugurate RubberCAE India 2024 Conference

BANGALORE, India - Jan. 28, 2024 - PRLog -- Dr. R Mukhopadhyay to Inaugurate RubberCAE India 2024 Conference

Bangalore, India - January 29 2024 - RubberCAE India 2024, a premier conference focusing on Rubber Testing and CAE Simulation, is set to take place from January 29th to 30th, 2024, at Hotel Fairfield Marriot Rajajinagar Bangalore. The event will be inaugurated by esteemed Dr. R Mukhopadhyay, Chairman of the Indian Rubber Institute, President of IRMRA, and Director (R&D) of JK Tyres. The conference will witness distinguished personalities from the industry and academia, including Mr. Prashant Doreswamy, President, and CEO of Continental Automotive India, as the Chief Guest, Dr. U Chandrashekar, Former Additional Director of GTRE, Mr. Saif Mohammed, CEO of Rubber, Chemical & Petrochemical Skill Development Council (RCPSDC), and Dr. Taku Ozawa, Head of Multiscale Material Modelling and Simulations at JSOL Corporation Japan, who will grace the occasion as guests of honor.

RubberCAE India 2024 is organized by India Science Foundation, NAFEMS, and Virtual Engineering, with support from DHIO Research and the India Rubber Institute.

The conference aims to address the challenges faced by designers and researchers in developing engineered products with shorter design cycles, longer life, durability, reduced costs, improved performance, and competitiveness. One of the key focuses of the event is the exploration of realistic solutions, techniques, and procedures, with simulation methods playing a significant role in achieving consumer demands.

The design cycle commences with material design, testing, product manufacturing, and testing for strength and durability. Simulation of rubber/elastomer materials poses unique challenges due to their hyper-elastic and visco-elastic behavior. Material modeling from atomistic to macro levels has been established to effectively handle material characterization, minimizing the need for iterative physical material testing. However, FEM simulation and life calculation of hyperelastic material remain challenging due to various influencing parameters such as thermal effects, creep, aging, cyclic softening, and ozone attack.

RubberCAE India 2024 will feature discussions covering material-level insights, product FEM simulations, physical testing, and manufacturing process simulations. The conference aims to provide a comprehensive platform for sharing knowledge, best practices, and advancements in rubber testing and CAE simulation, addressing the evolving needs of the industry.
