Experimental Technique.
• Experimentation can be defined as -an operation or procedure carried out unde
r controlled conditions in order to discover an unknown effect or law, to test or
establish a hypothesis, or to illustrate a known law.‖

Failure Analysis
The Word Failure Analysis is methods of forensic Engineering are especially valuable in tracing product d
efects and flaws.
Most failures can in the end be traced back to a
root causes of the type of human errors of any
kind. For example, human errors in:
Use studies
Requirement analysis / setting
Configuration control
Assumptions
Calculations / simulations / FEM analysis/Desig
n
Design drawings
Testing (incorrect load settings or failure measu
rement)
Statistical analysis &Manufacturing
Quality control Maintenance
Maintenance manuals
Incorrect feedback of information,etc

Application Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD
• CFD has lagged behind developments in stress analysis codes
• Powerful computers now make CFD more accessible
• Advantages of CFD over experiments
– reduction in lead time and costs of new designs
– ability to study systems where controlled experiments are difficult to perform (large
systems)
– ability to study systems under hazardous conditions at and beyond normal performa
nce limits
– detail of results

Component testing approach:
 Derive loading for demonstrator using
“Real Road” vehicle test
 Set up simulation model for reference
module
 Find clamping conditions and loading f
or reference module
 Evaluate simulation models based on r
eference tests

New Materials Characterization for Failure Prediction
Work tasks:
Test of shear-tension specimens with v
arious joining techniques
curves are derived from fatigue tests of s
pecimens
Create a model to simulate the fatigue b
ehaviour of joints based on FE analyses a
nd material’s data
Validate the model based on experiment
al data (measured strains)
Data characterising the crash behaviour
are derived from high-speed tensile test
Static and dynamic hat profile componen
t tests
The results of tests will optimize the vir
tual simulation model
