Rail transit provides a very safe means of public transport, which is due to the railroad specific principle of track guidance in combination with high active safety measures during operation. However, train accidents cannot totally ...

Nowadays the engineering and planning process in sheet metal forming is fundamentally supported by CAD and CAE systems. Beside the full 3D design process of parts and tools the simulation of sheet metal forming processes has ...

Crashworthiness simulations of car body structures are an important part of the CAE development chain for car design. In recent years, the requirements on passive safety of cars have grown to high standards, leading to a permanent ...

Wood is one of the oldest construction materials known to man. Over thousands of years it has been mainly used in a craft framework, so that current design rules are often based on experience and tradition. The scientific knowledge ...

In this presentation Dr. John O. Hallquist, founder and president of Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC), will give an overview about recent developments in LS-DYNA. LS-DYNA is a highly advanced general-purpose nonlinear ...

Roller hemming is an operation used in the construction of vehicle body parts and follows on from deep drawing, trimming and folding the flange to produce a metal-formed joint between the outer skin part and the inner part of vehicle ...

Due to environmental aspects in automotive industry weight reduction of body parts is one of the main challenges. Increase of safety and comfort requirements accompanied by decrease of weight leads to the necessity of complex ...

The identification of an appropriate design for engineering structures and processes is a development task over a long period of time. Finally, the developed design should be primarily reliable. Focusing on reliability purposes just ...

In the recent past hot stamping simulation has established itself more and more within the press hardening community. However the requirements on a simulation software are continuously increasing due to an increasing complexity of the ...
