Drop Test or Impact Analysis
Drop Testing or Impact Testing is the simulation analysis of a product impacting with a surface. This is critical in manufacturing design from tools to modeling natural phenomena, such as Mathematical Modeling of Asteroid Falling into the Ocean (pdf paper opens to new window)
Concerns in manufacturing:
 |
Design these products wherein certain components act as energy absorbers on impact, thereby protecting vital components. |
The damaged components manufactured as energy absorbers can then be
repaired or replaced
Analysis simulation is to produce a model capable of predicting stresses
and strains on the components thereby saving production time and
expense..
LS-DYNA's flexibility to provide user-definition of key parameters is a
major factor in simulating drop/impact analysis. This flexibility offers
engineers the capability to develop products with reliability
performance.
