FE modeling of a composite sandwich laminate with LS-DYNA for Aerospace applications
Laminated composite materials such as sandwich structures are widely used in the transportation industry
This project investigates how best to correctly predict the energy absorption of these non-isotropic and non-homogeneous materials, whose lamina thickness is typically of the order of 0.2 mm or less and consists of tiny fibers or particles dispersed in a matrix material.

LS-DYNA and modeFRONTIER for Material Model Calibration at Automobili Lamborghini
The main challenge is to reproduce their structural behavior by developing suitable numerical models
While the engineers relied on modeFRONTIER's capabilities, the procedure has been to calibrate the constitutive parameters of LS-DYNA's advanced material models, and to use them for prediction, design optimization and robustness analysis.
