Development of a Test Bench for the Parameterization of Functional Models
The Vision
In view of the global challenges in dealing with resources and sustainability, the world is at a decisive turning point. Traditional economic models based on the linear principle of "take, produce, use, dispose" are reaching their limits. The circular economy is a promising approach to overcoming these limits. The vision of the circular factory aims to refurbish used products in such a way that they are in no way inferior to linearly produced new products of the current generation.
An essential aspect of this vision is the forecast of functional fulfillment in the next product life cycle. The forecast serves as a basis for deciding how a used product should be processed in a circular manner within the circular factory. The quantitative functional model links the relevant relationships between design and function in order to make a statement about the functional quality.
Your Contribution
The aim of the work is the development of a test bench for the parameterization of the function model.
Tasks
- Conception and planning:
There are numerous design hypotheses on the design-function relationship, which are to be verified and quantified with the help of the test bench. These requirements result in the conceptual design of the test bench, which should enable the parameter variation of components and subsystems. - Integration and modeling:
The X-in-the-loop test bench maps interactions between the subsystems and the system environment using virtual models. These must be developed and combined with the physical components via simulation. - Building the platform:
Production orders and purchased parts must be derived from the preliminary work carried out. This is followed by the physical construction of the test bench. - Verification and validation:
The final test rig must be checked for its ability to provide reproducible and precise data for the evaluation and quantification of the design hypotheses.
Your development of the test bench lays the foundation for the verification and quantification of the design hypotheses.
