The computation of fluid forces acting on a rigid or deformable structure constitutes a major problem in fluid- structure interaction. However, the majority of numerical tests consists in using two different codes to separately solve ...

The development of crash-loaded structures is still ambitious, especially if topology and shape variations have to be taken into account [1]. The research project CRASH-TOPO „Methodical and Software-Technical Implementation of ...

The Mortar contact in LS-DYNA[1,2] was originally implemented as a forming contact intended for stamping analysis[3] but has since then evolved to become a general purpose contact algorithm for implicit time integration. The Mortar ...

Methods of global sensitivity analysis are used to identify significant parameters in order to perform computationally less expensive optimization of structural designs. In most engineering problems, only a few number of design points ...
