Linear static response structural optimization using the finite element method for linear static analysis has been significantly developed. However, there is very little development of structural optimization where a non linear static ...

Generally, the manufacturing of complex structures involves various processes that yield the final product. Simulation methods are often used to optimize each single process step. When the manufacturing levels involve different ...

The local mechanical properties e.g. flow stress and fracture strain in an automotive component manufactured by deep drawing are inhomogeneous due to different local deformation degrees which affect the component behavior under crash ...

For the design of engineering structures and the assessment of their reliability it is of main interest to appraise the importance of input quantities in view of result quantities. Sensitivity analysis provides a versatile tool to ...

In this paper, novel methods for the PRO-CHAIN strategy are presented, and their application is discussed for an example. PRO-CHAIN enables statistical analysis and multi-objective robust design- parameter optimization of forming ...

Potential scatter of simulation results caused, for example, by buckling, is still a challenging issue for predictability. Principle component analysis (PCA) and correlation clustering are well-known mathematical methods for data ...

Since years, FEA tools have allowed to reduce development time of products. Main improvements have been done in hardware and software leading to the possibility of finer mesh and complete models of complex structures. In parallel, ...

Der derzeitig häufig versuchsorientierte Entwurf von Lichtmasten als Straßenrandbebauung und das Ermitteln der Insassensicherheitsstufe/Energieabsorptionskategorie ist durch die notwendige Anzahl von Versuchen zeitaufwändig und u.a. ...

Inflatable dams are used worldwide as diversion structures, lock systems, tidal barriers and to rise the height of water reservoirs. At the moment there are very few and limited guidelines for dimensioning an inflatable dam. As a part ...

This talk presents the recent developments on LSTC Barriers Models including topics about Honeycomb Structure and Adhesive Modeling, Validation and Integration into Vehicles.
