AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
INDUSTRIES
Automotive manufacturers are increasingly using virtual prototyping, which requires efficient computational methods and softwares, especially in terms of predicting fatigue and crashworthiness.
- Polycyclic fatigue design under complex multiaxial loading
- Fatigue of welded structures (body, engine, subframe...)- Vibration fatigue (exhaust)
- Low and high cycle thermomechanical fatigue (exhaust pipe, pistons...)
- Contact fatigue (gear, ball bearing...)
- Repeated shocks fatigue (injector...)
- Optimization of surface treatment by shot peening or roller burnishing (suspension springs, crankshaft...)
MECAMIX also has, thanks to the research work of its founding members, rapid calculation methods in cyclic elastoplasticity for various engine applications.
Regarding the prediction of crashworthiness , MECAMIX has developed a simplified but very efficient and fast calculation method, which makes it a major asset for manufacturers in the predesign phase.
MECAMIX is at the origin of the STELLANTIS-Fatigue software that is currently used by STELLANTIS.
