As part of a novel method for material development, deep rolling was used in this work to characterize the mechanical properties of macroscopic specimens of C45 (AISI 1045), S235 (AISI 1015), and 100Cr6 (AISI 52100) in various heat treatment states. Deep rolling is conventionally used to enhance surface and subsurface properties by reducing the surface roughness, introducing compressive residual stresses, and strain hardening. In the context of this work, it was utilized to determine material-specific variables via a mechanically applied load. For that purpose, the geometries of individual deep rolled tracks were measured. In dependence of the process parameters such as deep rolling pressure and tool size, the track geometry, i.e., the specific track depth, was for the first time compared for different materials. A functional relationship identified between the specific track depth and the material state dependent hardness forms the basis for a future characterization of the properties of alloy compositions belonging to the Fe–C–Cr system. Since deep rolling is performed in the same clamping as machining operations, hardness alterations could easily be determined at different points in the process chain using an optical in-process measurement of track geometries in the future.

Much progress has been made in the simulation and verification of the thermo-mechanical behavior of plastic packages. On the other hand, until now there is a lack in the consideration of the scatter or uncertainty, respectively, of certain characteristics. A comparatively large scatter of local material properties or random geometrical imperfections can often be observed within the material compounds of electronic packages. The partial randomness of certain input parameters creates uncertainties in the finite element determination of mechanical quantities which are provided for thermo-mechanical reliability optimization and life time prediction. In the following the STOFEM stochastic finite element approach based on perturbation theory is applied as a part of the finite element simulation. It is used to find out some additional effects arising from uncertainties in the modeling, slightly varying parameters or probabilistic influences, respectively. In a second part of the paper, another approach to the consideration of random variations is discussed. It is based on the randomization of initially deterministic relations.

The paper presents a methodology for the lifetime assessment of welded polymer pipes. A fracture mechanics analysis of a butt-welded joint is performed by simulating radial crack growth in the nonhomogenous region of the pipe weld. It was found that the presence of material nonhomogeneity in the pipe weld caused by the welding procedure leads to an increase in the stress intensity factor of the radial crack and changes the usual failure mode of the pipe system. This can lead to a significant reduction in the lifetime of the pipe system.

We propose a finite element methodology to consider local material properties for large cast iron components in shape optimization. We found that considering local strength instead of uniform strength within shape optimization brings to different results in terms of safety-cost balance for the same component. It is well known that local mechanical properties of large cast iron components are defined by their microstructure and defects, which locally affect the strength of the components. Considering or not local mechanical properties can dramatically change a component reliability evaluation during its design. Since a typical industrial aim for shape optimization is trying to get the optimal solution in terms of component quality and cost, considering local material properties is even more important than in traditional design process where no optimization techniques are used. We compute solidification process parameters via finite element solidification analysis, and then we exploit experimental correlation between these parameters and ultimate tensile strength to evaluate the local reliability of the finished component under its static loading conditions. We believe that this methodology represents an opportunity to better design casting components when mechanical properties are deeply affected by their production process as described in the provided examples. In these examples, we wanted to minimize casting cost constrained by a target reliability and we get component cost reduction by considering local material properties. Future research will address the problem of using dedicated casting simulation software instead of general purpose finite element analysis software to compute solidification analysis and then introducing fatigue analysis and correlation between fatigue material properties and casting process output variables.

The advantages of low heat joining techniques, such as low distortion and little influence on the local material properties due to the low introduced amount of heat, shall be made usable for the manufacture of high strength structures by increasing the process reliability. The dependency between the parameters of the joining process, the seam geometry, the type of solder, the load type und the fatigue life especially of soldered structure with local strengthening shall be examined to allow a calculative estimation of the part’s life.

In order to shorten the design process of a multi-chambered profile, it is important to integrate the Technological Findings of the production and the evaluation of the manufactured product in a structured and systematic way, providing mathematical optimization. The development of profiles exposed to cyclic mechanical loading has to take into consideration their fatigue properties. This paper proposes a classification structure of the existing Technological Findings of Linear Flow Splitting and the continuous manufacturing line. The classification is realized by an ontology, modeling the manufacturing processes, machines, the geometry of the semi-finished product, sub-processes, engaged machine components and specific conditions for the employed material. A profile manufactured by linear flow splitting is subject to severe changes of local material properties. This affects the fatigue properties of the profile. The paper focuses on preparing the integration of these fatigue properties in a simplified approach into the mathematical optimization. The approach is developed by modeling examples of profiles with different material properties by methods of mathematical optimization. The examples are applied to a numerical fatigue evaluation. Results and conclusions drawn of this analysis are incorporated in the ontology as data and rules, serving as an input for the optimization.
