Crashworthiness is the ability of civil aircraft fuselage structure and internal systems to
maximum protect the occupants' safety in a crash or emergency landing event, and is an …

The crashworthy design, verification, and certification of civil aircraft fuselage structures are
extremely important for the aviation safety and the survivability of crew and passengers in a …

This work deals with the development of an improved numerical model, based on the explicit
finite element method, aimed at investigating the energy absorption capabilities of a full …

Airplanes are inevitably subjected to various impact loading conditions in the event of
emergency landing. An airplane crash scenario is a complex nonlinear impact event which …

In this paper, a vertical drop test of a full composite fuselage section of a regional aircraft has
been presented. This test was performed to investigate the structural response of a prototype …

In the present paper, advanced numerical methodologies have been adopted to investigate
the influence of impact angle on the crashworthiness behavior of a composite fuselage …

In this work, structural design and manufacturing of sandwich composite floor for automobile
was performed. The tensile and compression strength of specimen were investigated. Based …

In the case of catastrophic events, such as an emergency landing, the fuselage structure is
demanded to absorb most of the impact energy preserving, at the same time, a survivable …

Numerical testing is crucial for the design of composite fuselages, which have strict
crashworthiness regulations. However, the majority of studies on numerical fuselage …

With the aid of modern computing systems and commercial finite element (FE) codes, the
expensive and non-repeatable experimental crashworthiness testing of complex fuselage …
