Impact and Crashworthiness
LTSM has the knowledge and the equipment for studying impact and crashworthiness of materials and structures under impact loads of different types. Impact tests as well as impact FE simulations are conducted. Two of LTSM's activities in this area are:
- Low- and high-velocity impact, and
- Debris impact in aircraft wings.
Impact test in a composite sandwich panel.
Impact test in a cellular solid
FE simulation of impact in a cellular solid.
Simulation of sudden landing.
Simulation of high-velocity impact.
Bird strike simulation
Crash of a composite beam.
