Optimal experimental design and modeling for parameter identification for inhomogeneous problems

The reliable prediction of numerical simulations requires not only physically based mathematical modeling but also determination of the associated model constants based on experimental data. However, deficiencies of experimental data as well as model deficiency may have an impact on the stability of the identified parameters. This application is ...

Experimental and numerical determination of the correlations between the process variables of thermo-mechanical material treatment and the mechanical properties of graded mixed structures with bimodal grain size distribution

The aim of the project is the simulation-based determination of the relationships between process variables of thermo-mechanical processing and the resulting graded microstructure with bimodal grain size distribution.To reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector, the approach of load-adapted components is increasingly being pursued to reduce the ...

A two-scale model for damage processes during the machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics

This project includes an experimental characterization of the carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFK) composite and its components, material modeling, CFK machining tests, and simulation-supported analyses of CFK machining. Its main objective is the simulation-supported prediction of machining damage mechanisms of CFK. Four basic relevant damage ...

Goal-oriented adaptive finite elements for parameter identification of conventional and additive micromorphic continuum models

Due to deficiencies of local continua, in particular pathological mesh dependency of FE solutions on the numerical side and failure to simulate length scale dependent problems on the theoretical side, generalized continuum theories have wide areas of applications. In this project, we address the class of micromorphic continua, containing micropolar ...

Fuzzy-stochastic methods for polymorphic uncertainty modeling of lightweight structures

The overall aim of the research project is to transfer the polymorphic uncertainty models developed in the first funding period into the life cycle of hybrid lightweight structures. In particular, the manufacturing as well as the subsequent use during service time of fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) in hybrid systems are investigated. During the ...

Goal-oriented adaptivity for non-linear homogenizations using hierarchical models

The development and the production of innovative products using novel materials require in-depth knowledge of simulation methods for a safe design of components and machines. The increasing use of heterogeneous materials like composites in the industrial praxis has made the finite element (FE) simulation using homogenization techniques a ...

Experiments, modeling and parameter identification for inhomogeneous distortion states of plastics with induced anisotropy

The project deals with the experimental characterization, modeling and parameter identification of polycarbonate (PC) films which receive a so-called "self-reinforcement" by cold-forming (pre-stretching). In this way, the initially isotropic material experiences a strain-induced anisotropy. Thus, properties such as strength and ductility can be ...
