For our institute of vehicle concepts in Stuttgart we are looking for Student Vehicle Technology, Automotive, Aerospace or similar (f/m/x), Methodology development for the identification of a numerical description for vehicle belt materials

Das erwartet Sie:

A particular challenge for autonomous vehicle development is to become safer and more fuel-efficient whilst the requirements of the vehicle increase. For instance, with the increasing level of road-traffic autonomy (SAE Level 5), the importance and challenges of occupant protection will increase. For example, the undefined occupant position during a possible crash loads results in uncertainty of the loads and injuries sustained by the occupant. Therefore, a more detailed understanding of the occupant and the belt system is required for the structural design of the vehicle, which makes detailed modeling of the belt system during a crash essential. The description of the textile belt material under different loading conditions plays hereby a central role.

The aim of the proposed work is to develop an experimental and numerical methodology in order to obtain a numerical description of the textile belt material. Therefore, an experimental setup using a material characterization laboratory has to be developed in order to statically and dynamically characterize a vehicle’s seat-belt material. Additionally, different modeling strategies should be analyzed by conducting numerical studies, resulting in the identification of a suitable material description of the belt. Finally, the stability of the belt material model should be verified by performing virtual vehicle crash simulations.

Content of the work:

• Familiarization with crash simulation and material modeling
• Literature research on vehicle belt systems and textile modelling
• Development and implementation of an experimental campaign for belt materials
• Identification of a suitable numerical description for the textile material
• Evaluation of the belt material model by performing crash simulations
• Identification of required future developments
• Documentation of the work
