EVALUATION OF COUPLED FINITE ELEMENT/MESHFREE METHOD FOR A ROBUST FULL-SCALE CRASHWORTHINESS SIMULATION OF RAILWAY VEHICLES

Evaluation of coupled finite element/meshfree method for a robust full-scale crashworthiness simulation of railway vehicles

The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle relates to its passive safety performance.Due to mesh distortion and difficulty in controlling the hourglass energy, conventional finite element methods face great challenges in crashworthiness simulation of large-scale complex railway vehicle models.Meshfree methods such as element-free nacrack.com Galerkin
