Special Projects

Simulation of manufacturing process
Programing of a script for the simulation of the manufacturing steps bending, welding, post treatment and afterward the numerical analysis of the ultimate load.

Calculation of residual stresse on large structures
Dimension of assembley ca. 4 x 4 x 4 m with wallthickness in the range of 200 mm, multilayered welds,
Material: austenitic steel and low alloyed steel
Processes: Cladding, stress relief annealing, welding

Analysis of weld distortion on large structures to evaluate the weld distortion during the manufacturing
Dimension of assembley ca. 2,5 x 4,5 m with wallthickness in the range of 10 mm, multilayered welds,
Material: aluminium
Processes: predeformation of the construction, preheating, arbitrary filling of weld layers

Analysis of weld distortion on large sturctures to evalate different variants of manufacturing
Dimension of assembley ca. 2,5 x 4,5 m with wallthickness 2 mm - 3 mm, single layered welds.
Material: austenitic steel and low alloyed steel
Processes: GMAW, beam and spot weld

Rhine bridge Breisach
Design for reconstruction an restauration of the steel-bridge made in 1962. Evaluation of weldability, control and supervision of welding.

Rhine bridge Speyer
Analysis of the heating of the bridge during the buildin of melted asphalt and its effect on the stability during the building activity.

Blast technic for art design
Mentoring in blast technic for the project work " Explosive" from Christina Becker, Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe: Manufactoring of a pice of furniture by free blasting of steel sheets.
