[/məˈtɪriəl ˈmɑːdəl/]
nounpl: material models
modelo de material
1. A mathematical or physical representation that describes the behavior and properties of a material under various conditions of stress, strain, temperature, and time
The engineer used a nonlinear material model to simulate the concrete's behavior under compression.
O engenheiro usou um modelo de material não linear para simular o comportamento do concreto sob compressão.
2. In engineering and physics, a simplified description of how a material responds to external forces and environmental factors
Different material models are required for predicting elasticity, plasticity, and creep in metals.
Diferentes modelos de material são necessários para prever elasticidade, plasticidade e fluência em metais.
3. A computational framework used in finite element analysis to represent material constitutive behavior
The FEA software includes several built-in material models for common engineering materials.
O software de análise de elementos finitos inclui vários modelos de material integrados para materiais de engenharia comuns.
This is a technical term primarily used in engineering, materials science, and computational mechanics fields. It is not commonly used in casual conversation in either the USA or Brazil, but is essential terminology in academic and professional engineering contexts, particularly in universities and industries dealing with structural analysis, automotive engineering, aerospace, and construction.
