Advancing Aerospace Safety: Certification by Analysis Methods for Structural Impact Dynamics

Impact, Shock & Crash Community Webinar

Advancing Aerospace Safety: Certification by Analysis Methods for Structural Impact Dynamics

Tuesday 18 March 2025 | Online

09:00 (Los Angeles) | 12:00 (New York)
16:00 (London) | 17:00 (Berlin)

This presentation delves into the forefront of research conducted by the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) on the application of certification by analysis methods in aerospace structural impact dynamics. It focuses on certifying both composite and metallic airframe structures in scenarios involving crashworthiness, ditching, and bird strike incidents. The session will explore the integration of digital engineering techniques, which play a pivotal role in enhancing the certification process. Through detailed analysis and simulations, these methods not only improve the precision and reliability of certifications but also push the boundaries of current aerospace safety standards. Attendees will gain insights into the latest methodologies, tools, and digital technologies driving improvements in the safety and certification of aerospace structures.
