| Abstract | This paper reviews numerical methods that are currently available to simulate bird strike as well as the theory of the event. It also summarizes important parameters and provides guidelines as to how to set up the analysis and how to evaluate a model. The information provided is based on physical properties and available results regarding a bird and its behaviour upon impact. The simulations have been performed with LS-DYNA 970 but can be done in similar dynamic finite elements analysis codes. |
