The residual stresses in the blank after forming are the main cause for the subsequent springback in a sheet forming operation. The accuracy of the predicted springback in a Finite Element simulation of the forming operation is very much determined by the quality of the material modeling. Those parts of the workpiece, which in particular contribute to the global springback, have usually been su...

Abstract For the information acquisition of whole motion a projectile with sliding driving band in gun bore, nonlinear dynamic explicit finite element software LS-DYNA was used. The pressure-time curve bore is equivalent to boundary input condition gun, and large deformation process described by ALE algorithm. simulation results show that number calculated data are good agreement experimental v...

In this paper, a physical and mathematical model of interaction between fabric expanding automobile airbag biological objects is formulated. Bioobjects are represented using finite element models anthropometric dummies the Hybrid III 50th Male type. As material, multi-layer orthotropic material was used. The method corpuscular particles used for numerical simulation functioning in LS-DYNA multi...

Dyna planning is an efficient way of learning from real and imaginary experience. Existing tabular and linear Dyna algorithms are single-step, because an “imaginary” feature is predicted only one step into the future. In this paper, we introduce a multi-step Dyna planning that predicts more steps into the future. Multi-step Dyna is able to figure out a sequence of multi-step results when a real...

This paper describes a multiagent variant of Dyna-Q called M-Dyna-Q. Dyna-Q is an integrated single-agent framework for planning, reacting, and learning. Like DynaQ, M-Dyna-Q employs two key ideas: learning results can serve as a valuable input for both planning and reacting, and results of planning and reacting can serve as a valuable input to learning. M-Dyna-Q extends Dyna-Q in that planning...

In this paper, the design and development of the Delphi Driver Protection Module (DDPM) using a systems and virtual engineering approach is presented. LS-DYNA software tool was used in virtual prototype studies. The DDPM consists of driver side energy absorbing components. The components included in this module are 1) an adaptive Energy Absorbing (EA) steering column, 2) driver air bag, 3) stee...

The present work will introduce some of the resent developments in the Incompressible CFD (ICFD) solver currently under development in LS-DYNA. The main feature of this solver is its ability to couple with any solid model to perform Fluid-Structure interaction (FSI) analysis. Highly non-linear behavior is supported by using automatic re-meshing strategies to maintain element quality within acce...
