Analysis and optimization of thermoplastic fuselage struts under crashworthiness requirements

The safety of a commercial aircraft is a factor to consider from the early stages of its design to guarantee that this one's structure can protect the occupants inside in a low-speed crash. In an aircraft's primary structure such as a fuselage, where the occupants and cargo should be protected, the design regulations imposed by the EASA have...

Development of a computational thrombus model using finite element software LS-DYNA

An acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and is caused by a thrombus that occludes a cerebral artery. This thrombus reduces the cerebral blood flow and causes irreversible brain tissue damage. Mechanical thrombectomy is a safe and effective technique to remove the thrombus from the cerebral arteries and restore the brain's...
