Accurate Finite Element Modeling (FEM) of joints is essential in the design of complex mechanical systems such as automotive body-in-white (BIW) structures, as it plays a critical role in evaluating their performance. Although well-established techniques exist for modeling rotationally symmetric joints, there remains a significant gap in effectively modeling non-rotationally symmetric joints. These joints are particularly relevant in the automotive BIW, where they can better accommodate anisotropic loading conditions. In this study, strategies for modeling non-rotationally symmetric joints were explored using finite element simulations in LS-DYNA. The findings demonstrate that discrete beam elements can capture the anisotropic characteristics of such joints. Two models were tested: a single-beam model for stiffness periodicity every 90°, and a three-beam model for stiffness periodicity every 120°. Force responses, stress distribution, and sheet bending behaviors were analyzed, confirming that discrete beam elements can accurately represent direction-dependent stiffness. These results establish a foundation for developing advanced joint modeling strategies in complex mechanical systems.</jats:p>"}],"date_created":"2025-04-08T14:57:51Z","status":"public","project":[{"_id":"140","name":"TRR 285 – B01: TRR 285 - Subproject B01"},{"_id":"52","name":"PC2: Computing Resources Provided by the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing"}],"volume":52,"type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publisher":"Materials Research Forum LLC","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"149"},{"_id":"9"},{"_id":"321"}],"user_id":"76837","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2474-395X"]},"doi":"10.21741/9781644903551-21","_id":"59441","conference":{"end_date":"2025-04-03","start_date":"2025-04-01","name":"21st International conference on sheet metal ","location":"Paderborn"},"title":"Modelling strategies for non-rotationally symmetric joints","citation":{"short":"D.R.
