This talk gives a short introduction into the newest developments in LS-OPT and their Robustness Studies. Further on, Karhunen-Loève expansions, non-linear dynamic analysis of buckling as well as optimization set-ups are discussed.

So far structural sealants for use in structural sealant glazing systems were dimensioned by simple hand formulas with a high, global safety factor. Hence the building authority has only allowed to realise rectangle sealant sections ...

S. Brendler (Regierungspräsidium Tübingen), A. Haufe (DYNAmore) So far structural sealants for use in structural sealant glazing systems were dimensioned by simple hand formulas with a high, global safety factor. Hence the building ...

Past experience has shown that metal cylindrical containment tanks undergo significant damages during strong earthquakes. The main design code widely adopted for these tanks is the American Petroleum Institute’s API-650 code [1]. The ...

Demolition of buildings at the end of their life cycle has become more and more important. These buildings are either no longer attractive in an architectural sense or did not reach sufficient standards. Especially industrial ...

In automotive industry the need to build light weight structures with increased demands for passenger safety can be significantly supported by numerical simulation. However a correct material description is essential. For a correct ...

A simplified example from the metal sheet automotive body manufacturing process (Cold rolling – Deep-drawing – Crash) was considered as a basis of the through-process simulation. A simulation framework allowing construction of the ...

In this paper we present a new mapping tool (SCAIMapper) that simplifies the process of mapping forming results to the crash model. The tool assists the user in setting up the mapping by an easy to handle graphical user interface. ...

To get a more precise description of the material behavior of automotive parts in crash scenarios it is important to take into account the production processes of the formed parts [10]. For this purpose different thickness and strain ...

With increasing requirements on crashworthiness, and light-weight car body structures being a central issue in future automotive development, the use of high strength steel qualities has become widespread in modern cars. Since these ...
