EnginSoft and Metasystem develop design validation, verification methodology for highperformance on-board chargers for electric vehicles

Abstract

On-board chargers (OBC) are one of the key components in the energy efficiency of electric vehicles.

They must meet various requirements relating to mechanics and to electro-mechanical integration. Tolerances are fundamental in meeting these requirements. However, the small dimensions and the amplifying effects typical of the propagation of tolerances require additional compliance verification steps.

This article describes how EnginSoft supported Metasystem in acquiring the know-how to satisfy future customer requests on the one hand, and to create projects that are as profitable as possible in terms of waste minimization, on the other hand.

CASE STUDY

Rubber fatigue ≠ metal fatigue: mean strain effects

The article focuses on the difference in fatigue behaviour between rubber and metal materials. While metal fatigue is often described by a simple rule: increasing mean strain is detrimental to fatigue life, rubber fatigue is more complex and depends on the material's ability to strain crystallize. The text concludes that while tensile mean stresses are always detrimental in metals, in rubber they may be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether the rubber can strain crystallize.
