In this dissertation, a material model was developed, which is able to predict the mechanical behaviour of foundry cores. This model enables mechanical FEM simulations along their process chain. It is parameterised with several novel test-setups that determine the fracture strength under multi-axial load. Furthermore, I developed a non-destructive method that quantifies the elastic parameters of core materials. Additionally, I implemented the material model in a FEM simulation and validated it with an industrial core geometry.
