Application & Simulation RequirementCrashworthiness has matured into a multidisciplinary area with a wide range of applications: in vehicle design, aircraft design, military ballistics, bioengineering, sports gear design, metal forming processes, particle impact erosion, cold working processes. The disciplines involved in the development of crash-worthiness include computational mechanics, fluid–structure interactions, materials science, composite materials, honeycomb stiffened structures, polyurethane foam filled tubing, glass breaking, etc. An important factor used in determining the crashworthiness of an automobile vehicle during impact is its strength. In designing, a car structure should have the property of protecting or reducing the level of damage done to the driver and the car body, by absorbing the impacted load and reducing the stress values. Crash simulation helps to fix aforementioned problem during the early design process. |
