Workshop I:

CERTIFICATION OF COMPOSITE SEAT STRUCTURES

Overview
The workshop presented by leading international experts will give an overview of the current state of the art in design, analysis and test of crashworthy aircraft structures. It will present a methodology based on the test/simulation pyramid adopted for aircraft structures in which test and analysis methods for crashworthy structures are developed and validated at levels ranging from materials test specimens through structural elements up to full scale aircraft. The focus is on application of dynamic nonlinear explicit FE codes for metallic and composite materials at different structural levels. Special attention is given to advanced composite materials having high specific energy absorption where design rules are still under development.
