Composite materials failure modelling in LS-DYNA

Composite materials can be used to absorb energy during impacts.
This application involves modelling methods that have to represent the different damage mechanisms involved during the full structure collapse.
Specific cards and modelling strategies have to be set in order to predict both inter and intra-laminar fractures.
Very simple but representative examples will be shown.

Metals failure modelling in LS-DYNA

Metals numerical failure prediction is becoming more and more important due to "border line" weight saving activities that drastically reduce the safety factor and, at the same time, the availability of new metallic materials with unconventional plasticity, damage and failure behavior.
The aim of the workshop is to present the key concepts involved in damage and failure modeling (i.e stress state, plasticity model, non-linear strain paths, instability, mesh dependency) and introduce the main material models in LS-DYNA.
Some examples in order to facilitate the understanding of the theoretical aspects will be shown.
