Abstract

In the aircraft sector, Composite materials are becoming more popular for key structures for example engine Nosecones and fuselage panels. A bird strike is a serious threat that can cause significant structural damage. Using the explicit code AUTODYN, the current research focuses on composite structure finite element modelling and simulation of high velocity impact loads from soft body hits on composite structures. This study looks at how to use computational techniques for certification of an aircraft by initially proving the method's precision of bird hit on rigid target modelling and then extending the generated model to a more intricate situation. Because real bird hit testing is costly and time taking, it is proposed that simulation data be used in the early stages of design and for an aircraft certification of bird strike criterion under federal guidelines.
