Jonas Koch

Simulation engineer for gearbox development - Finite element analysis to determine durability of gears and shafts as well as moving parts in gear shifting (fatigue analysis, static and dynamic) - Multiphysics analysis of gear shift sequences to understand the system behavior and determine component loads (mostly 1D) - Develop and maintain tools to create simplified bearing models for finite element analysis

- Trained successors in previous assignments at Volvo (fuel economy, CO2 / vehicle air drag testing) Changed to Volvo group transmission team - Finite element analysis of moving parts in gear shifts - Multiphysics models of gear shifting sequences

Test engineer and data analyst in fuel consumption and CO2 emission testing - Created extensive fuel consumption analysis tool to automate comparisons between vehicles (programming) - Implemented an advanced test method to measure vehicle air drag on road, sensor selection and data acquisition - Created an analysis tool for the air drag test data

- Planning and coordinating test campaigns, documentation and communication of results - Testing of parts and components - Development of small assemblies

- Development of a mechanical vibration isolator using SolidWorks and Ansys - Design and assembly of compontents, communication with suppliers - Testing an existing isolation concept and comparison with the new one

- FE-simulation of tyre mounting (Abaqus), static and dynamic 3D model - Developed and coordinated a test campaign to measure contact pressures and to film mounting kinematics
