In my research I am investigating a suitable material model for pulp fibres. The material model is a part of a bigger research project, the purpose of which is the fundamental understanding and quantification of paper mechancis. Hence, my work package divides into two main parts. On one hand, I am investigating material parameters from measurements for my specific model. This involves optimisation techniques mainly. On the other hand, I am applying nonlinear continuum mechanics for which the interpretation and determination of materials parameters is not always clear. Both parts have rather different demands. Therefore, frequently challenging problems pop up which make advanced solution strategies necessary.
