Recently vehicle model is becoming more detailed and complex. Due to refinement of vehicle model, automotive companies are demanding to directly evaluate dummy injury criteria in crush analysis. To evaluate injury criteria, more ...

So far analytical and, to a lesser extent, numerical approaches have been limited in their ability to predict the properties of braided composites because of the high complexity of the rovings’ interlacing. While many analytical ...

The investigations described here are related to the unstable behavior of crash-simulations due to minor changes in the model. As a consequence the received simulation results become in some way unpredictable, whereby the causes can ...

In complex sheet metal forming processes, the material undergoes various strain path changes. For instance, during passing a drawbead, the load changes on the outer layer of the sheet from tension to compression and back to tension. ...

In virtual production planning, recent publications showed the possibility of creating a digital process chain of body parts including the process steps in the press shop and body-in-white shop. The digital process chain is used to ...

VE Commercial Vehicles Limited is a 50:50 joint venture between the Volvo Group (Volvo) and Eicher Motors Limited (EML) that brings together Global leadership in technology, quality, safety and environmental care, along with the deep ...

The project MATISSE funded by European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme aims to make a significant step forward in the capability to model, predict and optimise the crash behaviour of mass produced fibre reinforced polymers (FRP). ...

Up-to-date, particularly commercial methods of numerical simulation are able to meet requirements of modern product development and optimisation processes. However, essential prerequisite is not only the application software but ...

Despite progress achieved in the last decade, 70 people die and more than 650 are seriously injured every day on Europe’s road. As one of the most cost-effective safety infrastructure solutions available to policy ...

Small fluid gaps in large beam structures can significantly affect the loads generated in the structure when substantial dynamic loads are applied to it. This presentation looks in detail at how modelling, small fluid gaps in large ...
