The fundamentals and mechanisms of energy absorption/energy conversion in crash processes and the physics of the short-term dynamics of various impact load cases are dealt with both generally and specifically for aviation and vehicle technology requirements. This includes topics such as the material behaviour and damage of metallic and fibre composite materials as well as dynamic strain rate effects. Testing and measurement techniques for short-term dynamic crash and impact tests as well as simulation methods using explicit dynamic finite element analysis are discussed in depth. The practical exercise includes the execution and evaluation of a crash/impact test in the test laboratory as well as its modelling and simulation.
Students understand the different physical phenomena of structural loading under short-time dynamic loading as opposed to quasi-static loading. A comprehensive understanding of the physical material and damage behaviour of lightweight materials under crash and impact loading is generated so that students are able to define structural concepts for either maximising energy absorption in the case of occupant protection or minimising damage in the case of structural impact resistance. Students will be able to independently analyse short-term dynamic structural test campaigns and create and evaluate simple dynamic finite element simulations.
