Impact & Drop Testing Analysis

Home > FEA > Impact & Drop Testing Analysis

In structural analysis, forces and displacements are tyically assumed to be applied slowly and the FEA is performed ‘quasi’ statically. However, if in practice a load is the result of an impact, such as a crash or drop test, the resulting stresses can be much higher as a result of shock waves propagating through the structure. Accurate assessment of these short-duration events is suited to ‘explicit’ FEA techniques.

Explicit FEA can perform well if proper attention is given to mesh quality and model set-up.Through ANSYS, Wilde provide 3 leading products which combine powerful solvers with extensive meshing capabilities through the Workbench environment, backed by our training services. We are also experienced in undertaking consulting and benchmarking projects for companies new to the technology or only have an occassional requirement.
