Human modelling is a rather new development in occupant and pedestrian safety simulations in the automotive industry and gained much importance and interest in recent years. However it is still in a very early development phase and ...

Various numerical models of crash test dummies have been developed over the last decade ranging from rigid body models to deformable models. Today, these models have become an integral part of vehicle interior and restraint ...

This talk gives an insight into the recent developments in Oasys Software and Barrier Models including detailed topics of PRIMER and Post-Processing.

Computer simulation is a powerful tool for developing effective airbags for modern automotive industry. At the present time, most airbag calculations are based on a so-called uniform pressure technique. In the simplest case, for every ...

S. Oberer, C. Meyer (Fraunhofer-Institut IPA) To prepare new generations of robot systems for direct human-robot-cooperation new design criteria have to be set up, not only focussing on process specific characteristics but as well on ...

J. Schmidt, W. Winter, Prof. G. Kuhn (University Erlangen-Nuremberg) Against the background of passive safety features (i.e. automotive engineering) basic research is done on sandwich structures with core layers being made of ...

To prepare new generations of robot systems for direct human-robot-cooperation new design criteria have to be set up, not only focussing on process specific characteristics but as well on a minimum hazard potential. In case of any ...

Against the background of passive safety features (i.e. automotive engineering) basic research is done on sandwich structures with core layers being made of cellular metals. Cellular metals exhibit distinct plastic-compressible ...

Metallic hollow sphere structures (MHSS) form a new group of advanced composite materials characterised by high geometry reproduction leading to stable mechanical and physical properties. The MHSS combine the well-known advantages of ...

A brief review of the standard Johnson-Cook model is presented. Three optional strain-rate forms are introduced and calibrated to laboratory data for A36 steel. Next a brief description of the LS-DYNA implementation of the new ...
