Modeling and Simulation of Pulverizing Aircraft Crashes
Abstract
Do you know how an airplane crash causes the breakup of the aircraft? Professor Goong Chen of Texas A&M
The method was developed by hybridizing two primary methods: the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), and the methodology was validated against an experimental crash test of an F4 Phantom II fighter jet into a wall. The data from the recovered Flight Data Recorder are used and the effects of terrain on pulverization are visualized through the animation videos as the basis for making the assessments. The major assessment is that Flight 9525 crashed "
All majors and faculty of AUS are welcome.
