Crash and Impact Analysis
We specialize in advanced crash and impact simulations to assess structural integrity, occupant safety, and energy absorption performance under high-speed and sudden load conditions. Using industry-leading FEA tools, we simulate real-world impact scenarios, ranging from vehicle collisions and drop tests to equipment strikes and protective structure evaluation.
Our capabilities include:
Nonlinear dynamic simulations using explicit solvers for highly transient events
Material failure modelling and contact behaviour, including plasticity, fracture, and erosion
Vehicle crashworthiness assessments and pedestrian safety studies
Fan Blade-Off (FBO) analyses and test correlation, including containment and load transmission for turbofan and eVTOL propulsion systems
Bird strike simulations and validation, covering:
Ingestion and impact on turbofan and eVTOL engines
Impact on wings and fuselage structures of eVTOL aircraft
Component-level and full-assembly impact validation, from substructures to complete systems
Correlation with physical testing, ensuring simulation fidelity and certification readiness
Compliance with global safety standards (e.g. FMVSS, ECE, ISO, and aerospace certification requirements)
These analyses enable us to optimize designs for safety, reduce reliance on costly physical testing, and accelerate time to market while maintaining confidence in performance under extreme loading conditions.
