Seminar: Design of Composite Structures

article imageSince the mass is one of the main factors influencing the fuel consumption of vehicles, increasing demands to reduce energy usage and CO2 emissions, force the automotive industry to consider the use of alternative designs and new materials. Composite materials have proven their potential to reduce the weight of structures in many applications (e.g. aerospace and motorsports). As composites have a special set-up and behave completely different than traditional materials, engineers must learn how to employ these materials to take advantage of their special characteristics in the design of vehicle structures. In the seminar real world examples are used to create a basic understanding of designing composite structures. Then the theoretical and practical foundations of composite design are explained.

The trainer Dr. techn. Roland Hinterhölzl has been heading the Professorship Composite Materials and the study degree program "Lightweight Design and Composite Materials" at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria since 2016.

SAFER 20 Years and Still Growing Strong: Collaboration that Strengthens Road Safety!

article imageFor 20 years, SAFER has brought together industry, academia, and the public sector around a shared goal: to generate knowledge, research, and solutions that enhance road safety. When partners gathered at Lindholmen Visual Arena to celebrate the anniversary, one message stood out: road safety is not created in silos, it is created through collaboration. And SAFER grows - four new partners join the platform!

SimScale - Guide to Nonlinear Material Models

article imageYour linear FEA results say the bracket is fine. The prototype just cracked in testing. What went wrong? Chances are, the part entered the plastic range. While your linear model flagged the high stress, it couldn't tell you what happens next. Does the part redistribute load and survive? Does it deform permanently but still function? Or does it fail catastrophically?

Using Materials Knowledge Digitally and Across Company Boundaries

article imageIn the research project Cross-Company Material Data and Material Simulation in Production, PMD-X-MAPRO, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, researchers and industry are working to make material data available in a digital and machine-readable format. The goal is to prepare information about material properties and manufacturing data in such a way that it can be automatically used and exchanged along the entire supply chain.

SimScale - Guide to CFD Analysis: Process, Steps & Applications

article imageEver wondered how engineers figure out whether a new car design will slice through the air efficiently, or whether an electronics enclosure will overheat under load? They don't always build a physical prototype and test it in a wind tunnel or test bench. Instead, they turn to Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD.

C3 Releases Reduced Chemical Mechanisms for CFD Simulations of Alternative Fuels

article imageThe Computational Chemistry Consortium (C3) has published two reduced chemical mechanisms, C3MechLite and C3MechCore, based on their detailed kinetic model for surrogate fuels, C3MechV4.0.1. C3 is led by Convergent Science, with a research team comprised of chemical kinetic experts from the University of Galway, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Politecnico di Milano, and RWTH Aachen University. "We wanted to create a reduced mechanism that is comparable in size to GRI-Mech, but with chemistry that more accurately predicts fuel reactivity, particularly at gas turbine- and engine-relevant conditions of temperature and pressure," says Professor Henry Curran, C3 Technical Director.

COMSOL Blog: Surrogate Models for Faster Simulations and Apps

article imageThe COMSOL Multiphysics® software includes functionality for creating and using data-driven surrogate models, which are simplified, computationally efficient models that approximate the behavior of more complex and often more expensive simulations. Thanks to their relative simplicity, surrogate models have many practical uses, such as enhancing app interactivity and accelerating optimization and uncertainty quantification tasks.
