Hybrid strategy to simulate millimeter-wave RADAR devices for automotive ADAS

A multiscale hybrid strategy is proposed to simulate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in both Short Radar Range (SRR) and Long Radar Range (LRR). The first development stage was focusing on small sized radar…

Advancements in tailored hot stamping simulations: cooling channel and distortion analyses

Hot stamped components have been widely used in the automotive industry in the last decade where ultra high strength is required. These parts, however, may not provide sufficient toughness to absorb crash energy.…

Virtual prototyping of lightweight designs made with cold and hot formed tailored solutions

Tailored hot and cold formed solutions are one key to the lightweight construction challenges of the future. Only tailored solutions allow the combination of soft and hard zones for the best possible crash performance…

Estimation of the threat of IEMI to complex electronic systems

The threat of ultra wideband (UWB) sources is interesting for military issues. This paper summarizes information concerning the voltages generated from some commercially available UWB generator systems and their…

RCS predictions for electrically large complex structures

Radar Cross Section (RCS) prediction of electrically large complex structures is a technical challenge. This paper presents the study carried out to examine the applicability of PAM-CEM Solutions, the simulation package…

Analysis of influence of plastic bumper on radio wave characteristics

From the standpoint of vehicle appearance, vehicle radar units should be located behind plastic bumpers. Plastic bumpers are made of dielectric material, which causes reflection, scattering, refraction, and diffraction…

Numerical simulation of powder metal forming process using the SPH Method

The method of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used for the numerical simulation of compaction of iron powder. The character of SPH allows for accurately tracking relevant material properties within a Lagrangian…

Study on mechanical characteristics of lithium-polymer pouch cell battery for electric vehicle

In order to characterize deformation and failure behaviors of Lithium-Polymer pouch cell battery and its components, various mechanical tests were performed. Uniaxial tensile properties of electrodes, separator, and…
