Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Adoption Challenge

For more than a century, the combustion engine was the undisputed technology for automotive transport. It was not until the early 1970s, when supply shortages in the wake of the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East brought the traffic on European roads to a standstill at least for a few Sundays, kicking off a price spiral that continues to…

Why new technologies like automation, virtual prototyping, digital thread and AI are the key to scaling up sustainability in the automotive industry

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation. With new regulations pushing for the phase-out of internal combustion engines, and more OEMs committing to Zero Emissions Vehicles, the race to market is more urgent than ever. To seize the opportunity and stay ahead of the curve, carmarkers must act now to plan, engineer, and make the transition to an emissions-free future. But…

How to Estimate the Parameters of Nonlinear Material Models in COMSOL Multiphysics®

Mechanical systems often contain components that exhibit nonlinear material behavior. Examples include large elastic deformations in seals and gaskets, strain-rate dependence and hysteresis during cyclic loading in rubbers and soft biological tissues, and elastoplastic flow and creep in metals. Together with its Nonlinear Structural Materials Module add-on, the COMSOL Multiphysics® software contains more than one hundred built-in material…
