In modern automotive industry, the distance between conceptual design and production consists of an ever increasing number of CAE-cycles that involve the collection / manipulation of huge amount of diverse data. In addition, the ...

In the automotive industry since some years more and more numerical tools for optimization are used to find optimized solutions for the highly nonlinear problems in the area of pedestrian safety. But not all optimization algorithms ...

The approval of aircraft seats for air traffic strongly depends upon the seat structures’ performance under emergency landing conditions. In the progress of seat certification the legislator demands the seat developers to provide ...

New technologies and processes enhance the need for direct human robot interaction, to fully exploit the potential of robots’ accuracy and humans’ adaptability. Therefore, the hazardous potential of the involved robot manipulator ...

Whiplash injuries may occur in low speed rear crashes. Many consumer and insurance organizations use the BioRID-II dummy as test device, to assess the risk of whiplash injuries in car accidents. An LS-DYNA model of the BioRID-II dummy ...

This paper gives an insight in the latest developments of the MADYMO Dummy Database. Special attention will be paid to new facet Quality Rated dummy models. These models are perfectly suitable to be used in coupling between MADYMO and ...

It is often stated that arm movement of ES-2 model has an influence on injury values. The arm movement is influenced by friction parameters, airbag deployment and shape and material of door trim. This presentation tries considers load ...

The common used “Uniform Pressure Method” (UP) is a well-tried method to simulate an airbag deployment in accident cases. Nevertheless, this method indicates rather heavy inadequacies at the examination of the airbag deployment in the ...

There is constant pressure to reduce the time needed to process design data into crash results (mesh, assemble, create different crash cases, check, run, post-process). The meshing step has been reduced by batch meshing technology, ...
