Using Finite Element Models Beyond Their Upper Frequency Limits in Electric Vehicle Applications
A hybrid finite element formulation that extends the applicability of finite element models to higher frequencies will be discussed. It is based on reducing the size of the finite element model significantly by replacing major parts of the model with equivalent dynamic impedances during the finite element calculations. The Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) approach is combined with analytical solutions of dynamic and static modes for computing appropriate values for the dynamic impedances. The power dissipated by the dynamic impedance elements provides the link to an energy finite element model of the omitted parts for computing their response. Theoretical aspects, the functionality of the implementation, and comparisons between simulations and experiments for production automotive and rotorcraft systems will be presented.

The Next Generation Data Scientist
Gartner recently released their 'Top 10 Data & Analytics Trends for 2020' where they stated that "the collision of data and analytics will increase interaction and collaboration between historically separate data and analytics roles. This impacts not only the technologies and capabilities provided, but also the people and processes that support and use them. The spectrum of roles will extend from traditional data and analytics to information explorer and citizen developer as examples".
With Forbes predicting that there will be a shortage of at least 250,000 data scientists in the US alone by 2024, how will our data-driven enterprises survive? Should we empower citizen data scientists and embody a data democratisation approach or is there a better way to optimise our data science teams?
Join us as we discuss 'The Next Generation Data Scientist’ with our expert panel.
Discussion Points:
What type of person is the Next Generation Data Scientist? How can organisations develop these highly prized people?
Can you explain one of the most advanced data science projects in your organisation and some of the stumbling blocks you have encountered along the way?
What do you see as the most pressing trend in data science? If you had to boil it down to one sentence, what is the most important thing organisations should do to stay ahead of the competition?
