It begins by tracing the concept of resilience from systems theory to social and political life, showing that resilience in democracy is not a mechanical property of systems but a dynamic, human-driven practice grounded in agency, resistance, and collective self-determination. The paper argues that with emerging challenges in the digital sphere, such as misinformation, surveillance capitalism, platform monopolies, deepfakes, and hybrid warfare, democracy can only endure if its digital dimensions are protected and transformed. Building on this foundation, the paper introduces a holistic approach to resilient digital democracy that spans environmental, technological, economic, political, and cultural domains, and advances strategies such as public-commons digital infrastructures, platform co-operatives, public service Internet platforms, free/libre open source software (FLOSS), participatory innovations, and hybrid offline/online democratic practices. The result is a fresh, interdisciplinary vision of how democracy can be reinvented in the digital age.}}, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, issn = {{2732-5121}}, journal = {{Open Research Europe}}, publisher = {{F1000 Research Ltd}}, title = {{{What is and how do we Achieve a Resilient Digital Democracy?}}}, doi = {{10.12688/openreseurope.21988.2}}, volume = {{5}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{59872, abstract = {{Lightweight design is a driving concept in modern automotive engineering to minimize resource consumption over a vehicle's lifecycle through multi-material design, which relies on the use of joining techniques in car body fabrication. Multi-material design and the increasing trend towards producing large structural components using the megacasting process pose considerable challenges, particularly in the mechanical joining of aluminium-silicon (AlSi) castings. These castings typically exhibit low ductility and are prone to cracking when mechanically joined. Based on the excellent castability of hypoeutectic AlSi alloys, these are applied in sand casting and die casting as well as in megacasting. With a silicon content between 7 wt% and 12 wt%, these AlSi-alloys have a plate-like silicon phase that initiates cracks during mechanical joining. To enhance the joinability of castings, the research hypothesis is that improved solidification conditions enable a significant modification in the microstructure and therefore, increase the mechanical properties. During the manufacture of the castings using the sand casting process, the solidification conditions within the structural elements are varied to modify the microstructure to obtain castings with graded microstructure. The castings are evaluated using mechanical, microstructural and joining testing methods and finally, a microstructure-joinability correlation is established.}}, author = {{Neuser, Moritz and Schlichter, Malte Christian and Hoyer, Kay-Peter and Bobbert, Mathias and Meschut, Gerson and Schaper, Mirko}}, journal = {{44th Conference of the International Deep Drawing Research Group (IDDRG 2025)}}, keywords = {{Joining, Casting, Self-pierce riveting, Aluminium casting alloy}}, location = {{Lissabon (Portugal)}}, title = {{{Mechanical joinability of microstructurally graded structural components manufactured from hypoeutectic aluminium casting alloys}}}, doi = {{10.1051/matecconf/202540801081}}, volume = {{408}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{59878, abstract = {{Abstract.

As a widely used sheet metal in clinched joints within the automotive industry, the aluminum alloy EN AW-6014 has been the focus of numerous studies.

In the present work, the HCF behavior of EN AW-6014 T4 was explored both experimentally and numerically. To model the fatigue behavior, Lemaitre’s two-scale damage model was used. Two key parameters, damage strength and damage exponent, are necessary for numerical investigations of HCF behavior. These parameters were determined through experiments with flat specimens and subsequently validated within a numerical model of clinched joints. The numerical results for fatigue match the experimental ones of the clinched joints quite well.}}, author = {{Chen, Chin and Schlichter, Malte Christian and Harzheim, Sven and Hofmann, Martin and Bobbert, Mathias and Meschut, Gerson and Wallmersperger, Thomas}}, booktitle = {{Materials Research Proceedings}}, issn = {{2474-395X}}, publisher = {{Materials Research Forum LLC}}, title = {{{High-cycle fatigue testing and parameter identification for numerical simulation of aluminum alloy EN AW-6014}}}, doi = {{10.21741/9781644903551-23}}, volume = {{52}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{64616, abstract = {{The circular economy offers decisive advantages over the currently prevalent linear economy in industry. Firstly, the reuse of products, individual parts and material reduces the need for new production or generation and the associated consumption of energy and resources. Secondly, it helps to avoid the generation of waste. Early consideration of circular economic principles in product development processes is essential to specifically promote reuse, reparability and recycling. Efficient recycling of assemblies requires well-defined strategies. However, various challenges hinder the efficiency of technical recycling processes in industrial applications. This paper presents an Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram-based approach to systematically identify and categorize these influences. The method is implemented within an industrial framework, highlighting key obstacles such as material composition, design constraints, use of technology, framework conditions, economic limitations and regulatory challenges. By applying a scenario analysis, this approach examines potential future developments and their impact on recycling-oriented design choices. This helps to identify critical influencing factors and supports the development of resilient and sustainable industrial practices. This framework will serve as the foundation for developing an automated approach to circular design, enabling industries to more effectively integrate sustainability into their processes and adapt to changing environmental demands.}}, author = {{Rohde, Katharina and Gonzalez, Barbara Fernandez and Budde, Finn Lukas and Ott, Manuel and Mozgova, Iryna and Mendibe, Alain Alonso}}, booktitle = {{Safe and Sustainable Value Creation by Design - Proceedings of the 21st Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing}}, editor = {{Kohl, Holger and Seliger, Günther and Dietrich, Franz and Campana, Giampaolo}}, location = {{Bologna, Italy}}, publisher = {{Springer Nature Switzerland AG}}, title = {{{Unveiling Barriers to Recycling with a Focus on Design: An Ishikawa Diagram-Based Approach with Industrial Application}}}, volume = {{1}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{60440, abstract = {{The versatile self-pierce riveting (V-SPR) is a further development of semi-tubular self-pierce riveting. V-SPR enables adaptation to changing boundary conditions, such as a change in the material thickness combination, without varying the rivet die combination due to increased punch actuation and the use of multi-range capable rivets [1]. The inner punch first sets the rivet. The outer punch then forms the rivet head to the respective sheet thickness. For this, the rivet requires a hard shank and a ductile rivet head, which is achieved by an inductive local hardening process [2]. Until now, the joint formation of rivets with graded hardness profile has been challenging to estimate in the FEM simulation due to the inhomogeneous material conditions in the rivet. In this study, a method capable of reproducing the experimentally determined hardness levels of rivets in detail is shown. This FE model enables the realistic modelling of the mechanical properties of the rivet on the basis of the hardness profile in order to predict the correct deformation processes and stresses during the riveting process. First, the detailed experimental hardness mapping of the locally heat-treated rivets is transferred into the FE model. The FEM material model can predict the local strength of the rivet based on hardness by scaling the flow curves. To estimate the predictive capability of the FEM model, the joint formation of rivets with different graded hardness profiles is compared experimentally and simulative. Based on the validated model, the influence of different rivet hardness profiles on the joint formation is analysed numerically. By adapting the material model, a high level of correlation between the experiment's joint formation and the simulation can be achieved.}}, author = {{Holtkamp, Pia Katharina and Bielak, Christian Roman and Bobbert, Mathias and Meschut, Gerson}}, booktitle = {{Materials Research Proceedings}}, issn = {{2474-395X}}, publisher = {{Materials Research Forum LLC}}, title = {{{Simulation of the joining process of graded hardened multi-range capable rivets}}}, doi = {{10.21741/9781644903599-153}}, volume = {{54}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{59783, author = {{Mauro, D.
