Developing FE models for football helmets is just one of many ways that FRI is sharing research, data, tools and information to crowdsource and stimulate innovation in protective equipment.

Abstract: This presentation discusses computational modeling of complex materials behaviors under multi-physics conditions for Aerospace applications. We develop chemistry, physics, and ...

This paper outlines an approach to model some of the effects of strain-rate in the simulation of thermoplastics in high speed crash simulations. The effect of strain-rate on the material properties ...

Once reserved for the aerospace and automotive industries, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become ubiquitous in general industrial applications because of its effectiveness in digitally modeling ...

The inaccuracy of structure and the material model of the published model were observed. Concentrating on the published dummy knee finite element model, mesh refinement was performed, and the foam ...

This study presents an advanced model for predicting concrete durability, showing that silica fume and slag can drastically boost concrete durability.

Nuclear energy is widely recognized as one of the most promising clean energy sources for the future, but its safe and ...
