Numerical Simulation of Impact on Ceramic Armour System

This paper explores the hydrodynamic effects of high-speed projectile impact on ceramic/aramid armor systems using Autodyn simulations. The study compares SPH and Lagrangian models to capture crack development, energy transfer, and conoid fracture in various thickness configurations. Results reveal the critical influence of geometry and material response under pressure-driven failure scenarios.

Simulation of a Detonation Chamber Test Case

Daniel Hilding

This study simulates the hydrodynamic interaction between explosive gases and a detonation chamber structure using LS-DYNA’s Eulerian and fluid-structure modeling tools. It demonstrates how detonation geometry and wave propagation influence pressure distributions, structural stress, and energy dissipation. The work supports the development of safer, optimized containment systems for explosive ordnance disposal.

Stochastic Analysis of Highly Non-Linear Structures

W. Roux, N. Stander, F. Günther, H. Müllerschön

The paper explores how shape optimization and parametric modeling techniques can be used to analyze and mitigate variability in highly non-linear structural systems. By applying response surface metamodels and stochastic analysis, it differentiates between design-driven and instability-induced changes. These insights are crucial for reliably modeling, optimizing, and visualizing complex structural responses.

The Use of Finite Element Analysis in Roadside Hardware Design

Malcolm H. Ray

This paper provides a historical overview of the use of finite element analysis (FEA) in roadside safety research. It details how modern, nonlinear dynamic FEA has become a crucial tool for designing and evaluating roadside hardware by complementing traditional full-scale crash testing.
