In this contribution the coupling of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for
fluid dynamics to Finite Elements (FE) for structures is discussed. The accuracy of the SPH …

Crashworthiness of subfloor-integrated tank is fundamental for the survivability of an impact
with the ground in emergency. In this paper, numerical models for the analysis of the water …

To reduce the hazard for service personnel involved in current field operations, it is
necessary to improve the safety and structural integrity of transport vehicles subjected to …

The study examined the structural damage and impact behavior of a composite fuel tank
assembly subjected to drop impact based on the fluid–structure interaction analysis. It was …

Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) can be a very attractive single-step process for sandwich
structure manufacturing. During an RTM injection, large deformation of the foam core …

Over the last few decades, the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method has gained
popularity as a mesh-less method to simulate fluid flows. In contrast, the finite element (FE) …

The effect of liquid sloshing upon the acoustics of automotive vehicles is becoming more
pronounced with the increasing size of fuel tanks and the recent progress in minimising tyre …

This paper deals with numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction as it occurs during
aircraft ditching–an emergency condition where an aircraft is forced to land on water. The …

This paper discusses selected features of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
method when used in combination with a Finite Element (FE) software tool. Special attention …

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to model the ditching of a helicopter.
Helicopters have a high centre of gravity, are not integrally watertight so tend to roll over and …
