Bolt connections are one of the main joining techniques in commercial vehicles. To capture the main effects of this connection type a new modelling technique is discussed and compared with conventional techniques. To describe the bolt ...

During the recent years, the development of suitable and robust models for joining technologies has been advanced to augment the quality of full car crash simulations. Furthermore, the utilization of high-strength steel alloys and ...

The non-associated plasticity model, based on the first and second invariant of the stress tensor, describes reasonably well the mechanical behaviour of crashoptimized high-strength adhesives in the automotive industry. This pressure ...

The development of suitable and robust simplified spot weld models for full vehicle crash simulation meets one of the major demands of the development process regarding efficient and appropriate full car crash models. Normally a high ...

Today’s automotive industry is challenged with reducing fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, weight and cost. The usage of ultra high strength steel is one possibility to reduce weight and improve crash behaviour. The development with ...

In order to improve structural crashworthiness and reduce vehicle weight, new or modified materials such as advanced high strength steels are increasingly used in vehicle structures. Therefore, material joining issues have become more ...
