Institute of Product Development and Mechanical Engineering Design

Aim

• Development of simulation models for predicting the strength of sandwich fasteners
• Derivation of design changes for the structural mechanical optimisation of sandwich fasteners
• Validation of dynamic overall structural models of aircraft cabin monuments on the large hexapod test bench
• Demonstration of design options for increasing the damping of aircraft cabin monuments

Method

• Structure the problem into different levels with increasing degrees of complexity
• Conduct experiments, create models and validate the sub-models successively at each level
• Integrate the findings from lower levels into the next higher level

Funding and Partners

The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) as part of the sixth Federal Aeronautical Research Program (LUFO VI-1). The project started in 2014 and will continue until March of 2018.
