Abstract: This study introduces a novel methodology for vehicle development under crashworthiness constraints. We propose coupling the solution space method (SSM) with active learning reliability (ALR) to map global requirements, ...

Abstract: The event of rigid solids impacting a viscoelastic body is encountered in many engineering disciplines. However, for this problem no analytical solution is available, making the proper design of, e.g., protective bodies a ...

Abstract: In the early-stage development of sheet metal parts, key design properties of new structures must be specified. As these decisions are made under significant uncertainty regarding drawing configuration changes, they sometimes ...

Abstract: In the early development phase of complex technical systems, uncertainties caused by unknown design restrictions must be considered. In order to avoid premature design decisions, sets of good designs, i.e., designs which ...

Abstract: Topology optimization (TO) is used in the initial design phase to optimize certain objective functions under given boundary conditions by finding suitable material distributions in a specified design domain. Currently ...

Abstract: Assessing vehicle safety is a challenging, yet fundamental task. In the early phase of development, car manufacturers need to ensure the compliance with strict safety requirements. An interesting task to automate these ...
