With increase in demands for special purpose vehicles such as electric vehicles, small series production is gaining more importance in automotive industry. However, due to restricted amount of information available about the ...

Recent developments in LS-DYNA capabilities include new keywords and parameters with application to blast and penetration analyses: ALE_REFINE, SECTION_ALE1D, LOAD_BLAST_ENHANCED, CONTROL_SPH, CONTROL_ADAPTIVE_SOLID_TO_SPH

Steigende Anforderungen an die passive Sicherheit eines Automobils, sowie die Notwendig- keit einer Reduktion des Fahrzeuggesamtgewichtes stellen die Automobilindustrie vor neue Herausforderungen. Im Bereich der Umformtechnik ...

Topology optimization is more and more applied in industrial appli- cations and has shown to be a valuable tool for the design of mechanical structures. However, few applications in topology optimization deal with nonlinear or ...

This paper presents a new technique to model the effect of intermediate induction heat treatment (IIHT) on pre-strained aluminium sheets, predominantly AA5182. IIHT is a heat treatment technique carried out between two conventional ...

Occupant restraint systems are an essential part of today’s vehicles to reduce the injury risk of occupants during collisions. Additionally to in position collisions, further requirements influence the performance and design of airbag ...

Cross Car Beam is an important assembly which usually holds all Instrument Panel including HVAC System, Knee Airbags, Steering Column, Radio and many other components. Therefore, the cross car beam has to fulfil many different ...

Thema dieses Vortrags ist Topologieoptimierung von Strukturen unter nichtlinear dynamischer Beanspruchung, wie beispielsweise im Crash. Wir zeigen hierzu Anwendungen mit zwei Programmen, zum einen LS-TaSC™ [1] (wird von LSTC ...

Thermoplastic woven glass composites have been identified for high strength with low specific weight and cost. In order to accurately predict and optimize part performance it is essential to have good quality validated material ...
