By DuChan Kim | TAE SUNG Software & Engineering
This technical article describes a project that was undertaken by TAE SUNG Software and Engineering, in collaboration with DY AUTO in Korea, to establish a computerized process to conduct three-dimensional real-scale analysis of any of the three types of windshield wiper currently in use, and to establish a specific standard for evaluating wiper performance.
It describes the procedure that was followed to model wiper performance, to collect data about that performance in terms of friction, wiping speed and contact pressure, and to develop a user-friendly pre- and post-processor for the developed program to facilitate the creation of analytical models to evaluate wiper performance and to analyze the results.

CASE STUDY
This study by Hitachi Rail investigates how various designs of energy absorbers perform under offset collision conditions in railway vehicles. Using finite element simulations (240 in total), the research explores different absorber geometries—such as thin-walled multi-cell and bi-tubular structures—and analyses how factors like thickness, shape, and cross-sectional dimensions affect energy dissipation.
