Inelastic material models at steady state of rolling

Modelling and simulation of path-dependent material models for rolling structures at steady state using the Finite Element Method

Research topics

• Investigation of the structural behavior of rolling structures and rolling contact
• Development and implementation of linear and non-linear viscoelastic material models for large strains within an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework
• Isogeometric analysis for rolling bodies
• Hydroplaning analysis by means of a Fluid-Structure Interaction between the tire and a layer of water
• Development of a complete work flow for numerical simulation of rolling tires

In collaboration with

• ANSYS, Inc. (http://www.ansys.com/)
