You will gain a great experience in learning all the instruments, procedures and technical aspects with the support of your tutor and colleagues of the Interiors Functional Development Department.
Italdesign is continuously advancing its methodologies in the field of Passive Safety, leveraging state-of-the-art CAE numerical simulation techniques to enhance vehicle safety performance and optimize the early phases of product development.
You will contribute to a project dedicated to the fine-tuning of CAE modelling parameters related to side airbag deployment, aimed at enhancing the correlation and predictive accuracy of numerical simulations with respect to physical test results.
Thesis Project
As a thesis student, you will be supported by your Tutor in the analysis and development of the following thesis project, focused on:
- Identifying which material and sub-component characterizations are required to evaluate variability in airbag deployment behaviour and subsequently implement them in CAE simulation models;
- Calibrating material cards and parameter sets to accurately correlate the observed physical behaviour;
- Updating seat FEM model with validated materials and parameters;
- Performing the final simulation loop with the dummy in a full-vehicle side crash load case, evaluating the improvement in correlation with physical test results.
