Book Description
Fiber-reinforced materials offer a huge potential for lightweight design of load-bearing structures. However, high-volume production of such parts is still a challenge in terms of cost efficiency and competitiveness. Numerical process simulation can be used to analyze underlying mechanisms and to find a suitable process design. In this study, the curing process of the resin is investigated with regard to its influence on RTM mold filling and process-induced distortion.

Process simulation of wet compression moulding for continuous fibre-reinforced polymers
Author: Poppe, Christian Timo
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731511908
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Interdisciplinary development approaches for system-efficient lightweight design unite a comprehensive understanding of materials, processes and methods. This applies particularly to continuous fibre-reinforced plastics (CoFRPs), which offer high weight-specific material properties and enable load path-optimised designs. This thesis is dedicated to understanding and modelling Wet Compression Moulding (WCM) to facilitate large-volume production of CoFRP structural components.

Probabilistic Prediction of Energy Demand and Driving Range for Electric Vehicles with Federated Learning
Author: Thorgeirsson, Adam Thor
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731513714
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
In this work, an extension of the federated averaging algorithm, FedAvg-Gaussian, is applied to train probabilistic neural networks. The performance advantage of probabilistic prediction models is demonstrated and it is shown that federated learning can improve driving range prediction. Using probabilistic predictions, routing and charge planning based on destination attainability can be applied. Furthermore, it is shown that probabilistic predictions lead to reduced travel time.

Mesoscale simulation of the mold filling process of Sheet Molding Compound
Author: Meyer, Nils
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731511738
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Sheet Molding Compounds (SMC) are discontinuous fiber reinforced composites that are widely applied due to their ability to realize composite parts with long fibers at low cost. A novel Direct Bundle Simulation (DBS) method is proposed in this work to enable a direct simulation at component scale utilizing the observation that fiber bundles often remain in a bundled configuration during SMC compression molding.

Trajectory optimization based on recursive B-spline approximation for automated longitudinal control of a battery electric vehicle
Author: Jauch, Jens
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731513323
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This work describes a method for weighted least squares approximation of an unbounded number of data points using a B-spline function. The method can shift the bounded B-spline function definition range during run-time. The approximation method is used for optimizing velocity trajectories for an electric vehicle with respect to travel time, comfort and energy consumption. The trajectory optimization method is extended to a driver assistance system for automated vehicle longitudinal control.

Experimental investigation of relevant road surface descriptors for tire-road noise measurements on low-absorbing road surfaces
Author: Pinay, Julien
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731513285
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Ihrer Arbeit in der Originalsprache: This work aims at identifying relevant road surface characteristics to mitigate tire-road noise of free-rolling tires using a systematic approach. As using open porous roads is already known as an efficient measure to reduce tire rolling noise, this study will focus on compact road surfaces which have a low acoustic absorption. Measurements on standardized ISO 10844 test tracks and on public roads are used to study the norm's representativity and its completeness.

Fiber-dependent injection molding simulation of discontinuous reinforced polymers
Author: Wittemann, Florian
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3731512173
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This work presents novel simulation techniques for injection molding of fiber reinforced polymers. These include approaches for anisotropic flow modeling, hydrodynamic forces from fluid on fibers, contact forces between fibers, a novel fiber breakage modeling approach and anisotropic warpage analysis. Due to the coupling of fiber breakage and anisotropic flow modeling, the fiber breakage directly influences the modeled cavity pressure, which is validated with experimental data.
