INTERNSHIP/THESIS IN CAE/FEM – VIBRATION FATIGUE

As part of your internship or thesis, you will support our team in developing a measurement approach for Wöhler curves (S-N curves) and in validating the obtained results. Your tasks include: Wöhlercurves: Developing a measuring approach for determining S-N of plastic materials usual at HELLA. Robustness: Varying parameters like mean stress to convert one curve to another. Verification: Executing FEA simulations and fatigue calculations to validate the obtained parameters at single components. Determining the correlation level and suggesting measures to increase it. Validation: Executing FEA simulations and fatigue calculations on system level to verify the level of confidence. Documentation: Consistent and transparent documentation of every step of the implementation and knowledge transfer to the team involved.
