KEYNOTE: THE ROUTE TOWARDS SMARTER TESTING OF AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES – Ian Jones, Airbus Within aircraft manufacturing, structural tests of airframes have traditionally been the method of compliance for certification. Numerical simulation enables predictive virtual testing (PVT) to predict structural behaviour, allowing the possibility of replacing physical tests. The Airbus Smarter Testing approach challenges the requirements for physical validation at all levels with either a PVT or a structural test being used to qualify the component.
ROADS AND HOW TO INCORPORATE THEM REALISTICALLY INTO THE VIRTUAL WORLD – Gordon Airey and Jan Prins Prof. Gordon Airey of Nottingham University and Jaguar Land Rover’s Jan Prins present on asphalt road surfaces and how these can be represented in the virtual world so that vehicle dynamics behaviour in the physical world can be accurately predicted from simulations.
TUNING AN AUTOMOTIVE EXHAUST FOR SOUND QUALITY – Mark Burnett (HORIBA MIRA) This presentation describes the testing, simulation and correlation of exhaust orifice noise. The process begins with the test characterisation of an exhaust system across a range of engine speed and load conditions. A 3D acoustic model is created and the transmission loss, orifice noise and noise at the driver is compared with that measured on the vehicle.
HOW SIMPLE IS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE? – Peter Heyes, HBM Prenscia The statement that “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler” is a useful principle to apply to engineering models and can certainly be applied to the modelling of fatigue damage, where the need is for accurate and reliable answers to support design decisions that are achievable at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. This presentation considers the question in the title in connection with the characterisation and modelling of fatigue performance in short glass fibre reinforced polyamides.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE VIRTUAL & PHYSICAL WORLDS: A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE OFF-HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY – David Panni, JCB Construction and agricultural off-highway equipment covers a large range of machine
types and potential applications. The virtual validation of these machines offers many advantages in terms of cost, time to market and quality. However, there are a number of challenges in the practical adoption of virtual processes alongside existing and well established physical validation processes. This presentation will outline what these challenges are and how they are managed when designing welded steel fabrications at JCB.
EXPERIMENTAL DYNAMIC SUBSTRUCTURING: HOW TO CREATE TEST-BASED MODELS FOR FEM – Dennis de Klerk, Mueller BBM VAS For complex products like cars, building a finite element method (FEM) model usable for noise, vibration & harshness (NVH) up to the driver’s ear and into higher frequency ranges is still a challenge. Electric vehicles increase this challenge due to their excitation up to higher frequency ranges. This presentation introduces experimental dynamic substructuring. This method enables FEM modelling of the complete vehicle acoustics based on component models from either FEM or test. These test-based models originate from modal-like measurements.
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING USING A DRIVING SOUND SIMULATOR AND BINAURAL TRANSFER PATH ANALYSIS/SYNTHESIS – Bernd Philippen In the automotive industry, NVH engineers would like to judge the sound of a new vehicle as early as possible because late changes are very expensive. High costs, shorter development cycles and an increased number of derivates are the reasons that many car manufacturers are continually reducing the number of prototypes. But how can you experience the sound properly without a prototype? The answer is a driving sound simulator.
BEST PRACTICE MATERIALS DATA MANAGEMENT: ENSURING QUALITY, TRACEABILITY, AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT – Steve Laine, Granta Design How do you ensure an efficient, traceable materials testing and analysis process – from test lab to design data? Without such a process, time is wasted in finding the right data or repeating tests and you can’t optimise the properties used in design or simulation, making it difficult to maximise product performance. Granta Design has been working to develop best practice approaches and supporting software tools that help engineering enterprises to control, manage, and apply materials data. T&TH
