Pedestrian Protection and Low-Speed Crash

Studying the possibilities of using machine learning algorithms for prediction of pedestrian crash behavior based on FEM simulations and actual crash tests.

Responsibilities: - Developement of Pedestrian crash simulation model for understanding Leg enjury and Head injury criterias such as MCL, ACL, PCL, LCL, Tibia and Femur using PAM Crash. - Post processing the results using Animator tool. - Data Analysis on FEM simulation results. - Developement of Artificial Neural Networks to train on the simulation data and predect enjury criterias. Tools: FEM: PAM Crash, LS-OPT Post-Processing: Animator, Python Data Analysis, ML: Python

Responsibilities- - Creation of models to describe the dynamic behavior of assemblies using the Hyperworks/ABAQUS simulation environment. - Validation of simulation behavior with physical testing and FFT in Hypergraph and Python. - Investigating different approaches to linearizing nonlinear vibration processes (collision, friction, preload) and defining a range of validity. - Creation of a test plan, perform supervised measurements, and then calibration of numerical models.
