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.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2474-395X"]},"publisher":"Materials Research Forum LLC","author":[{"last_name":"Devulapally","first_name":"Deekshith Reddy","id":"76837","full_name":"Devulapally, Deekshith Reddy"},{"last_name":"Tröster","first_name":"Thomas","id":"553","full_name":"Tröster, Thomas"}],"date_created":"2025-04-08T14:57:51Z","intvolume":" 52","status":"public"}
