Development and validation of new algorithms to improve contact detection and robustness in finite element simulations

Description:

Approximately half of all numerical problems in crashworthiness analysis involve impact dynamics, and accurate contact algorithms are critical to capture the structures’ behavior. Conventional contact algorithms use the principle of preventing ‘ slave ’ nodes from penetrating ‘master’ segments....
