A method for structural optimization based on the multi-scale analysis of contact phenomena for improving the durability of components

Research topics

• The realistic modeling of phenomena in the contact area based on the finite element method, in two different FEA programs FEAP and ABAQUS
• The use of multi-scale analysis for an accurate of contact phenomena (Friction and wear) in a rubber block model
• In addition to monitoring the phenomena on multiple scales, the interaction between these phenomena is also examined and considered
• The coupling of the multi-scale analysis with developed optimization algorithm to improve the component behavior in the contact area and the durability of these components
