TRR 285/2 - Development of Methodologies for Mechanical Joinability in Adaptable Process Chains
Teil Project B01 – Development of Methodologies for the Design of Components and Joints
Teil Project B01 – Development of Methodologies for the Design of Components and Joints
The aim of this research is to develop a robust and efficient design methodology for joints in structures with direction-dependent behavior, particularly in fiber-reinforced composites and metal connections. The holistic method is intended to ensure uniform load distribution across all joints, preventing overload while maximizing the overall structural strength.
A deep understanding of the relationships between the joint, the joint design, and the sur-rounding structure is essential. The load on a single joint is influenced not only by the me-chanical properties of the joining element, but also by the number, positioning, and layout of the joints, the properties of the connected components, and the way the load is intro-duced.
