FE-based development of stress-adapted and production-suitable transmission components
Holistic strategy for the development and design of laser welded transmission components
- Development of stress-adapted and production-suitable component designs, based on structural mechanical FE simulations and welding process-specific requirements
- Structural welding simulations to support the laser welding process development (parameter window, evaluation of distortion and residual stresses)
- Computational validation of the component fatigue strength based on current standards for the fatigue strength assessment (supplemented if necessary by multi-axial fatigue tests)
