Review of Numerical Methods for Bird Impact Simulation on Aircraft Components

Abstract

In today’s world, aircraft flies on the risk of occurring bird strikes which lead to serious damage or failure of aircraft. Experimental methods being expensive, numerical methods are preferred for tests and certification purposes. This paper analyzes different approaches (Lagrangian, Eulerian, ALE, and SPH) which are used for numerical simulation of the bird. It also covers material Models, different geometries of bird, effect of parameters at windshield are highlighted. Furthermore, this paper also analyzes effect of impact angle and layup configuration on bird impact.

Keywords: Aircraft flies, Bird strike, SPH, Lagrangian, Numerical Simulation, Temperature
