Introduction of the Fellows

Dr. Eng.Specialty; Press forming and CAE analysisJiro HIRAMOTOSpecialty; Forming and CAE

We propose solutions using CAE that contribute to customer manufacturing.

I have long experience in the development of application technologies and CAE technologies for steel sheets, including press forming technologies for high strength steel sheets to improve automobile performance, as well as development and support for application of these technologies to actual vehicles.

Efficient development, productivity improvement, and appropriate countermeasures against defects are important in manufacturing. For each of these problems and concerns, it is essential to organize and understand the phenomena. JFE Techno-Research aims to be a reliable partner by providing CAE-based solutions that address and resolve customers' issues.
