Course
Description:
This course focuses on the application of LS-DYNA
for the simulation of high energy events. The analysis
methods and modeling are illustrated through case
studies. An emphasis is placed on modeling techniques
including guidelines for which technique(s) to select,
insights into which techniques work well and when, and
possible pitfalls in modeling choice selections.
Sufficient mathematical theory is presented for each
technique, especially Eulerian, to provide the typical
user with adequate knowledge to confidently apply the
appropriate analysis
technique.
Days 1 &
2: Blast events form a class
of simulation environments well suited to the solution
capabilities of LS-DYNA. LS-DYNA is unique in offering
the analyst the choice of Lagrange, Eulerian (ALE) and
Simple Engineering solvers, and combinations of these
solvers, for simulating high energy events such as blast
loading. In addition to air blast, the traditional focus
of blast modeling, buried explosive charges have
recently become important in the design of troop
transportation.
Days 3 &
4: Penetration events form a
class of simulation environments well suited to the
solution capabilities of LS-DYNA. LS-DYNA is unique in
offering the analyst the choice of Lagrange, Eulerian
(ALE) and Meshfree Methods, and combinations of these
methods, for simulating high energy events such as
penetration and perforation. In addition to high energy,
these events are typically associated with large
deformations, damage, and failure both on the material
and structural level. During the past decade successful
modeling of such damage and failure has moved steadily
from a 'Black Art' to a widely accepted engineering
practice.
Prerequisites:
This training class is intended for the LS-DYNA
users with an understanding of the LS-DYNA keywords and
options associated with typical Lagrangian analyses. The
typical attendee is likely to have a background in
defense applications, to include protective structures
and vehicles, homeland defense topics, and terrorist
threat mitigation techniques.
