Validation of a SPH bird in ABAQUS/Explicit for bird strike simulation

Kurzfassung

Experimental investigations Two filigrane components with two thicknesses (6mm and 20mm) were designed and constructed. Parallel a more standard loadcell setup was also used. With those setups, bird strike tests were performed with 4lbs birds at two different velocities , in order to support the validation of a numerical SPH ”splitting” bird in ABAQUS explicit. Numerical investigations The bird is modeled using SPH-elements in ABAQUS explicit and has been validated according to the test results.
