Global sensitivity analysis provides information about the respective significance/contribution of structural input random parameters (or combinations thereof) onto considered responses. The identification of non-relevant and relevant ...

In the paper an approach for structural health monitoring is introduced comprising uncertain structural analysis, assessment of damage and performance by uncertainty-indicators as well as prognosis of structural behavior and lifetime. ...

This talk introcudes into a new development methodology, using FE dummy modeling as a data source, discusses model updates and development as well as model handling.

The curtain airbag is usually simulated by a uniform pressure method in which the pressure of the airbag is considered as constant. This is correct when the airbag is fully deployed. However, this assumption is not valid during the ...

The use of math-based tools has reduced the need for hardware prototyping and testing, which in turn reduces a vehicle’s development time and cost. LS-DYNA has been extensively utilized in the crashworthiness community to improve ...

This talk gives an overview of material and component tests as well as sled tests, barrier design and abdomen calibration regarding dummy validation.

This presentation covers scripting with Javascript in Oasys PRIMER and Oasys D3PLOT.

Viscoelastic effects have a wide influence on the behaviour of long-term loaded components. Considering this characteristic behaviour of polymer materials appropriate material models have to be used in FE-simulations. LS-Dyna provides ...

For the finite element simulations of polymeric materials mathematical models are needed which cover all the phenomena of the material. In the first part of this paper a new model based on the invariant theory is introduced. With this ...
