Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in LS-DYNA®

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in LS-DYNA®

Syllabus

This class pro­vides en­gi­neers and re­searchers with the fun­da­men­tal the­o­ret­i­cal back­ground on the SPH for­mu­la­tion. It al­so overviews ap­pli­ca­tions of SPH to dif­fer­ent in­dus­tri­al prob­lems in de­fense, aero­space, au­to­mo­tive and con­sumer prod­ucts. The class em­pha­sizes which SPH for­mu­la­tion is suit­able for var­i­ous ap­pli­ca­tions in­clud­ing flu­id and sol­id ma­te­ri­als. To il­lus­trate dif­fer­ent SPH fea­tures, the class in­cludes a work­shop with around 30 LS-DY­NA in­put ex­am­ples cov­er­ing all key­words and con­tact en­ti­ties. Con­tact be­tween SPH and FEM parts and al­so be­tween dif­fer­ent SPH parts will be il­lus­trat­ed in 3D, 2D, and 2D ax­isym­met­ric prob­lems. A work­flow for set­ting up an SPH prob­lem in LS-Pre­Post® will al­so be dis­cussed.
