Structural Design of a Crashworthy Energy Absorbing Passenger Seat For a Large Transport Aircraft Using Large Displacement, Nonlinear Material Finite Element Analysis
<p>Federal Aviation Regulations certification criteria for transport aircraft seats require performing dynamic tests using anthropomorphic test dummies. Floor decelerations of the tests are 16g forward with the seat tracks misaligned by up to 10 degrees and 14g downward at a pitch angle of 30 …

Crash behavior of three dimensional thin-walled structures under combined loading
For the weight efficient and crashworthy design of the structural body of a transportation system, a thorough understanding of crushing behavior of thin-walled structural members such as spot-welded sheet metal beams or extruded aluminum beams must be gained. In the present thesis, the complex …
