    Modelling and simulation of flame cutting for steel plates with solid phases and melting
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2020) Arenas, Manuel J.; Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert; Mikkonen, Pertti; Petzold, Thomas
    The goal of this work is to describe in detail a quasi-stationary state model which can be used to deeply understand the distribution of the heat in a steel plate and the changes in the solid phases of the steel and into liquid phase during the flame cutting process. We use a 3D-model similar to previous works from Thiébaud (J. Mater. Process. Technol. 214(2):304–310, 2014) and expand it to consider phases changes, in particular, austenite formation and melting of material. Experimental data is used to validate the model and study its capabilities. Parameters defining the shape of the volumetric heat source and the power density are calibrated to achieve good agreement with temperature measurements. Similarities and differences with other models from literature are discussed. © 2020, The Author(s).

    Topology optimization subject to additive manufacturing constraints
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2021) Ebeling-Rump, Moritz; Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert; Petzold, Thomas
    In topology optimization the goal is to find the ideal material distribution in a domain subject to external forces. The structure is optimal if it has the highest possible stiffness. A volume constraint ensures filigree structures, which are regulated via a Ginzburg–Landau term. During 3D printing overhangs lead to instabilities. As a remedy an additive manufacturing constraint is added to the cost functional. First order optimality conditions are derived using a formal Lagrangian approach. With an Allen-Cahn interface propagation the optimization problem is solved iteratively. At a low computational cost the additive manufacturing constraint brings about support structures, which can be fine tuned according to demands and increase stability during the printing process.

    On the existence of generalized solutions to a spatio-temporal predator-prey system
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert; Plato, Luisa
    In this paper we consider a pair of coupled non-linear partial differential equations describing the interaction of a predator-prey pair. We introduce a concept of generalized solutions and show the existence of such solutions in all space dimension with the aid of a regularizing term, that is motivated by overcrowding phenomena. Additionally, we prove the weak-strong uniqueness of these generalized solutions and the existence of strong solutions at least locally-in-time for space dimension two and three.

    Two-scale topology optimization with heterogeneous mesostructures based on a local volume constraint
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Ebeling-Rump, Moritz; Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert
    A new approach to produce optimal porous mesostructures and at the same time optimizing the macro structure subject to a compliance cost functional is presented. It is based on a phase-field formulation of topology optimization and uses a local volume constraint (LVC). The main novelty is that the radius of the LVC may depend both on space and a local stress measure. This allows for creating optimal topologies with heterogeneous mesostructures enforcing any desired spatial grading and accommodating stress concentrations by stress dependent pore size. The resulting optimal control problem is analysed mathematically, numerical results show its versatility in creating optimal macroscopic designs with tailored mesostructures.

    Local surrogate responses in the Schwarz alternating method for elastic problems on random voided domains
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Drieschner, Martin; Gruhlke, Robert; Petryna, Yuri; Eigel, Martin; Hömberg, Dietmar
    Imperfections and inaccuracies in real technical products often influence the mechanical behavior and the overall structural reliability. The prediction of real stress states and possibly resulting failure mechanisms is essential and a real challenge, e.g. in the design process. In this contribution, imperfections in elastic materials such as air voids in adhesive bonds between fiber-reinforced composites are investigated. They are modeled as arbitrarily shaped and positioned. The focus is on local displacement values as well as on associated stress concentrations caused by the imperfections. For this purpose, the resulting complex random one-scale finite element model is numerically solved by a new developed surrogate model using an overlapping domain decomposition scheme based on Schwarz alternating method. Here, the actual response of local subproblems associated with isolated material imperfections is determined by a single appropriate surrogate model, that allows for an accelerated propagation of randomness. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated for imperfections with elliptical and ellipsoidal shape in 2D and 3D and extended to arbitrarily shaped voids. For the latter one, a local surrogate model based on artificial neural networks (ANN) is constructed. Finally, a comparison to experimental results validates the numerical predictions for a real engineering problem.
