Description
The project focuses on the development of a nonlinear whole-body FE model of a DoD-defined 5th percentile female. Publicly available CAD/FEM models previously developed in the context of automotive industry are repurposed for use in the aerospace context. The deliverable is a fully functional version of the FE model is able to predict gross kinematic response during loading events such as aircraft hard landings, crash, and occupant ejections.
