The objective of this research theme is to use of validated modelling to replace physical testing by virtual test. The benefits include: simplification of test program, improve product performance, reduction in the development costs.
Modeling Impact Events: Modeling Material Behavior:
- Dynamic impact design - Empirically-based failure models
- Modelling for large scale events - Material properties degradation
- Multi-fidelity models - Physics-based progressive failure models
- Bird Strike - Event-based simulations
- Hail Impact - Multi-scale modelling of composite structure
- Maintenance Induced/Tool Impact (BVID)
- Tire Damage Impact
