Behaviour of syntactic and partial hollow sphere structures under dynamic loading.

The paper investigates the macroscopic behaviour of adhesively bonded metallic hollow sphere structures fully and partially embedded within an adhesive matrix subjected to compressive dynamic loading by means of computational simulations. Different influences e.g. morphology, topology, sphere wall thickness and strain rate sensitivity have been analyzed.

Computational and experimental crash analysis of the road safety barrier

The paper describes computational analysis and experimental crash tests of a road safety barrier. Computational models of the safety barrier and deformable crash vehicles have been developed for the purpose of the computational simulation. Simulation and experimental results enable determination of influential parameters governing the impact conditions . These parameters are used to determine the seriousness of the crash consequences. Comparison of computational and experimental results confirm the correctness of developed computational model.

Numerical modelling of crack path in the lubricated rolling-sliding contact problems

The paper presents a complex model for fatigue crack propagation analysis in case of contact load, which takes into consideration surface pressure, friction, EHD lubrication, residual stresses, and the T-stresses in the front of the crack. The model is used for calculation of the machine parts which are subjected to contact loading (gears, bearings, friction wheels etc.) in regard to the pitting of the contact surfaces. The model significantly upgrades the existing standardized computational procedures provided by ISO and DIN.

Intelligent FEA-based design improvement

The prototype of an intelligent rule-based consultative system is being developed to provide the design changes when considering a description of the design structure's critical area. This system is encoded in Prolog. It can deal with the results of prior strain–stress or thermal analysis. It presents a short list of proposed design changes that should be taken into account when improving the design.
