Im Gegensatz zu metallischen Werkstoffen, haben additiv gefertigte Bauteile aus Kunststoffen geringere Festigkeit und Steifigkeit, sodass sich ihre Verwendung als lasttragende Strukturen schwierig gestaltet. Insbesondere der Einsatz von endlosen Verst{\"a}rkungsfasern kann die mechanischen Eigenschaften additiv gefertigter Strukturen signifikant verbessern und die Fertigung hochbelastbarer Faserverbundstrukturen im 3D-Druckverfahren erm{\"o}glichen. Daher gilt es aktuell notwendige Anlagen und Prozessketten f{\"u}r den Fertigungsprozess aber auch Vorgehensweisen f{\"u}r die belastungsoptimierte Auslegung der Faserverl{\"a}ufe innerhalb des Bauteils zu entwickeln, um so das Themengebiet „Endlosfaserverst{\"a}rkter 3D-Druck" weiter voranzutreiben.

It considers the differing mechanical properties of unidirectional fiber reinforced material by excluding overlapping regions perpendicular to the fiber direction of the particular layer. A mechanical and numerical comparison of tensile strength of stepped joints with continuous step lengths per ply and stepped joints with reduced step lengths in plies with fiber orientation differing from load direction is performed. Finite element simulations show similar shear stresses. Mechanical tests of CFRP laminates with stepped joints show no significant deviation in tensile strength, in spite of a joint length reduction of nearly 40\%.

Mechanical anisotropy is commonly available in pipe products as a result of the manufacturing process, especially, those subjected to hot/cold-worked deformation. The outcomes of the present analyses show that its effect on the behavior of running ductile fracture in cracked pipes undergoing depressurization is meaningful. For instance, the Crack-Tip Opening Angle (CTOA) not only exhibits a strong dependence to the pipe's diameter size, but also to the material's anisotropy nature when compared to a hypothetical isotropic material. Moreover, laboratory scale tests such as those performed on Battelle Drop Weight Tear (BDWT) samples provide useful information about initiation of ductile crack propagation when the anisotropy features are taken into account in the material description.}, language = {en} } @misc{OlbrichPongratzBierletal., author = {Olbrich, Florian and Pongratz, Christian and Bierl, Rudolf and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Method and System for Evaluating a Structural Integrity of an Aerial Vehicle}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NonnMarx, author = {Nonn, Aida and Marx, P.}, title = {Validated Multiphysics Modeling For Advanced Pipeline Integrity Management}, series = {ADIPEC, November 4-7, 2024, Abu Dhabi, UAE}, booktitle = {ADIPEC, November 4-7, 2024, Abu Dhabi, UAE}, organization = {Society of Petroleum Engineers}, doi = {10.2118/222279-MS}, abstract = {The aim of this paper is to present practical steps for utilizing a validated multiphysics approach for fracture control in CO2 pipelines within the framework of Carbon Capture Transport and Storage (CCTS). Ensuring the arrest of running ductile fracture (RDF) is a crucial safety requirement for the transportation of dense-phase CO2. However, current standards rely on outdated and restrictive methods, imposing severe limitations on pipeline material and structural design. As a result, projects that fall outside these standards face the need for extremely costly tests, often leading to delays or cancellations of CCTS initiatives. This study introduces an advanced, validated, fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model designed to accurately predict fracture propagation in CO2 pipelines. A key advantage of this approach is its use of robust and reproducible calibration and validation procedures combined with high-quality material characterization data. The full coupling of structural, fluid, and backfill models is essential for obtaining precise results, not only in determining arrest occurrence but also in analyzing properties such as fracture velocity history, 3D pressure distributions behind the propagating crack, wall thinning, and crack tip opening angle. The FSI model has demonstrated its value as a cost-effective tool for safety assessments, enabling the development of fracture control plans that specify minimum required material properties and fluid compositions for optimized pipeline design, both onshore and offshore. Additionally, performing virtual studies with the parameterized FSI model enables the generation of synthetic data for training and validating a machine learning surrogate model. This surrogate model can be integrated into industrial practices, facilitating the application of multiphysics modeling without the need for extensive expertise.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchimmerGebhardtMotschEichmannetal., author = {Schimmer, Florian and Gebhardt, Jakob and Motsch-Eichmann, N. and Hausmann, Joachim M. and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {The effect of curvature on the low-velocity impact resistance of CF/PEEK laminates}, series = {30 Years IVW Anniversary Colloquium, Leibnitz-Institut f{\"u}r Verbundwerkstoffe Kaiserslautern, 2021}, journal = {30 Years IVW Anniversary Colloquium, Leibnitz-Institut f{\"u}r Verbundwerkstoffe Kaiserslautern, 2021}, language = {en} } @article{AfanasevHoeferHoltmannspoetteretal., author = {Afanasev, Anna and H{\"o}fer, Philipp and Holtmannsp{\"o}tter, Jens and Zimmer, Felix and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Development of a continuous fiber-reinforced 3D printing process with a 6-axis robot arm: Process design and equipment}, series = {The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology}, journal = {The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology}, publisher = {Springer}, issn = {0268-3768}, doi = {10.1007/s00170-025-17263-3}, pages = {20}, abstract = {The utilisation of 3D printing processes in the fabrication of continuous fiber-reinforced composites confers a multitude of advantages, in particular flexible design based on structural requirements.

However, adopting L-PBF for high-performance applications is difficult due to the challenge of predicting microstructure evolution. This is because the process is sensitive to many parameters and has a complex thermal history. Thin-walled geometries present an added challenge because their dimensions often approach the scale of individual grains. Thus, microstructure becomes a critical factor in the overall integrity of the component. This study focuses on applying cellular automata (CA) modeling to establish robust and efficient process-structure relationships in L-PBF of 316L stainless steel. The CA framework simulates solidification-driven grain evolution and texture development across various processing conditions. Model predictions are evaluated against experimental electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data, with additional quantitative comparisons based on texture and morphology metrics. The results demonstrate that CA simulations calibrated with relevant process parameters can effectively reproduce key microstructural features, including grain size distributions, aspect ratios, and texture components, observed in thin-walled L-PBF structures. This work highlights the strengths and limitations of CA-based modeling and supports its role in reliably designing and optimizing complex L-PBF components.}, language = {en} }
