This is a simulation of a turbine engine encountering a bird strike. The turbine is rotating at 3000 rpm when a sphere representing the bird is impacted at a closing velocity of 500 mph. Contact between all parts is accounted for as well as self contact which can been seen when the turbine blades contact each other.
Press Forming Simulation of a Thin Metal Sheet
A nonlinear transient press forming simulation of a thin metal sheet. The sheet is modeled with plate elements and uses a nonlinear plastic material property to account for plastic strain. The die (not shown) was setup as a solid rigid part. The contour shows the remaining plastic strain after the die is removed. This analysis is very useful in predicting the final shape of a stamped sheet metal part.
