This paper investigates the effect of size and complexity of composite structures on the
formation of low-velocity impact damage via experimental tests and numerical modelling …

We demonstrate the potential of collocation methods for efficient higher‐order analysis on
standard nodal finite element meshes. We focus on a collocation method that is variationally …

This work proposes the multi-level hp-concept, in which a coarse base discretization is
refined by superposing fine, high-order finite elements. This hp-formulation circumvents the …

Because of the high complexity of the cold roll forming process, an accurate estimate of the
torque required at each stand is not possible and, in many cases, the designs of cold roll …

Interactive virtual assembly systems have been widely used in product development. In most
virtual assembly systems, assembly parts are regard as rigid objects without deformation …

Super high strength steels are used as the importance of lightweight construction increases.
They induce a high amount of springback during removal of a tool and this has to be …

The finite element method is the default choice for the prediction of complex forming
processes. In this work, this method is applied to the prediction of large radius air bending of …

Marciniak and Nakajima tests are commonly used in building FLD's, since they allow
covering all regions from uniaxial to almost equibiaxial strain paths. In this work, the …

Any doctoral thesis should be an individual effort of a PhD student which should lead to a
new scholarly contribution to a specific domain. However, I do believe, that in engineering …

Simulation method has become an increasing important problem to establish the
trustworthiness of models in the finite element simulations. Finite element models in sheet …
