The development of occupant safety systems does not only require an accurate numerical In-Position model but also an Out-of-Position (OoP) simulation model. To meet the needs of OoP simulation Takata-Petri developed an advanced ...

A substantial prerequisite for the performance of airbag modules during collisions is the structural integrity of all module components. This paper focuses on integrity assessment of passenger airbag module housings during deployment ...

The need for accurate validated dummy models is growing more and more. This paper describes the latest investigations for validating the FAT and PDB dummy models. New validation test results are shown and the latest releases of the ...

The lower limb is one of the most frequently injured body regions in crashes involving pedestrians. A biofidelic FLEXible-Pedestrian Legform Impactor Global Technical Regulations (FLEX-PLI GTR) device has been developed under ...

This presentation of the study includes background-objectives, material modeling as well as validation and a conclusion.

This paper describes hip sliding mechanisms for seating comfort evaluation using a human FE model (THUMS). From a rigid seat experiment, combined with THUMS simulation, it was first found that the backward moment around the hip centre ...

The virtual estimation of physical product properties is only as good as the virtual description of the behaviour of its material. On the one hand there are well known material cards like *MAT_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_PLASTICITY in LS-DYNA© ...

Thermoplastic polymers reinforced with mineral (talc) particles typically display an anisotropic mechanical behavior that results from the preceding manufacturing process (e.g. injection moulding) with a distinctive direction of melt ...

The new continuum damage model is based on a general thermodynamic framework for the modeling of rate and temperature dependent behavior of anisotropically damaged elastic-plastic materials subjected to fast deformation. The ...

This talk introduces into the topic of "Multi-Scale Modeling of Crash and Failure of Reinforced Plastics Parts with DIGIMAT to LS-DYNA Interface".
