The presented paper focuses on identifying temperature-dependent parameters for a newly designed material model of 3D-printed PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol). An uniaxial elastic–plastic material model with damage and different properties in tension and compression was developed to describe this&#...

Liver is frequently injured in blunt abdominal trauma caused by road traffic accidents. The testing of safety performance of vehicles, e.g. belt usage, head support, seat shape, or air bag shape, material, pressure, and reaction, could lead to reduction of the injury seriousness. C...

This work is focused on the modelling of car to pedestrian crash scenario. Virtual hybrid human body model VIRTHUMAN as well as a simplified model of car chassis is modelled under Virtual Performance Solution software. The main idea of the work is the investigation and se...

Behavior of various, even hypothetical, materials can be predicted via ab-initio electronic structure calculations providing all the necessary information: the total energy of the sys- tem and its derivatives. In case of non-periodic structures, the existing well-established methods for electronic...
