Predictive modeling of dynamic processes: a tribute to professor Klaus Thoma

Predictive Modeling of Dynamic Processes provides an overview of hydrocode technology, applicable to a variety of industries and areas of engineering design. Covering automotive crash, blast impact, and hypervelocity impact phenomena, this volume offers readers an in-depth explanation of the fundamental code components. Chapters include informative introductions to each topic, and explain the specific requirements pertaining to each predictive hydrocode. Successfully blending crash simulation, hydrocode technology and impact engineering, this volume fills a gap in the current competing literature available. Providesan overview of a variety of crash and impact simulations Discusses a wide spectrum of impact problems from low velocity impact to hyper-velocity impact Successfully blends crash simulations with hydrocode technology INDICE: Simulation of Automotive Crash Processes: Development of Full Car Crash Simulation to An Integrated Design Tool.- Foam Models for Interior, Dummy and Exterior Applications.- TRIP and TWIP Steels.- Fiber Reinforced PlasticsUnder Crash.- Simulation Airbag Systems.- Numerical Modeling of Blast and Impact Phenomena: Simulation as a Design Tool for Protective Structures in Sensitive Buildings.- Large Structural Impacts.- Near and Far Field Blast Loading Simulations on Vehicle Structures.- Composites Under Impact.- Simulation of Protective Materials and Systems in Armored Vehicles.- Modeling of Meteorite Impact on Space Vehicles and on Earth: Simulation Based Design of the InternationalSpace Station’s (ISS) Shielding System.- Shape Influence of Micro Meteorites and Space Debris on Their Impact Performance.- Specific Modeling Aspects for Large Meteorite Impact Conditions.- Modeling of Craters Due to Meteorite Impactand Nuclear Explosion.- Advanced Equations of State for Meteorite Impact.
