The 35th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2024)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Registration is now OPEN)
Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The use of fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) in structural components offers significant lightweight potential due to their high specific stiffness and strength. However, the complex fatigue behavior of FRP often leads to insufficient consideration of long-term strength during product development, which is typically compensated for by high safety factors. This study aims to explore additional lightweight potential by addressing fatigue phenomena more accurately, focusing on the critical area of load introduction. Bolted connections, commonly used for load introduction, are prone to bearing failure under cyclic loading. Therefore, a simplified design support for the load introduction in cyclically loaded FRP components is necessary.
