Die Wichtigkeit des Faches FEM ist sicher unumstritten. Um in der gegebenen Zeit eine ausreichende Einarbeitung in die Methode und die Uebung am Rechner durchfuehren zu koennen, ist der Einsatz eines auf PC lauffaehigen FE-Lernprogramms eine gute Hilfe. Sind die Grundlagen da, weiss der Student, welche Eingaben bei einem FE-Programm zu machen sind. Fuer manche Fachgebiete genuegt schon die Arbeit mit einem solchen Programm. Sind entsprechende Uebungen mit dem Lernprogramm erfolgt, kann auf professionellen Programmen wie z.B. CAEDS das Zusammenspiel CAD/FEM ernsthaft betrieben werden. Es sollte ein Fachsemester ausgesucht werden, in dem CAD und FE angeboten wird. Dieses Fachsemester sollte, um den Nutzen der FEM in moeglichst vielen Fachgebieten zu haben, zum Ende des Grundstudiums, spaetestens aber zu Beginn des Hauptstudiums liegen.
Experimental and numerical investigations into the forming of tailored strips and tailored tubes
(2008)
Through the application of tailored strips and tailored tubes, the wall thickness of components can be manufactured in a load-optimised manner. Thus, it is also possible to optimise component weight. Prior to the application of tailored products, wall thicknesses and the respective degree of deformation as well as the welding seam position can be determined in a FEM (finite element method) simulation. These results are then verified in test series on transfer presses and tube bending machines, with the necessary tool adaptations being determined in the process. This results in weight and cost reductions for deep-drawn components and tube sections. Moreover, this means that especially with regard to tubes, multiple sections can be combined in one component. A feasibility study shows that the level of possible weight and cost savings depends on the respective component geometry and load situation. Additional costs for the production of tailored products and - if necessary - tool modifications also need to be considered. Thus, the amount of savings possible for a part can only be determined on an individual basis.
In a recent paper it has been shown that the effective nonlinear constant which is used in a P-Matrix approach to describe third-order intermodulation (IMD3) in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices can be obtained from finite element (FEM) calculations of a periodic cell using nonlinear tensor data [1]. In this paper we extend this FEM calculation and show that the IMD3 of an infinite periodic array of electrodes on a piezoelectric substrate can be directly simulated in the sagittal plane. This direct approach opens the way for a FEM based simulation of nonlinearities for finite and generalized structures avoiding the simplifications of phenomenological approaches.
