CERTIFICATION BY ANALYSIS I and II G. Olivares, J.F. Acosta, and V. Yadav Computational Mechanics Laboratory National Institute for Aviation Research, WSU Wichita, KS 67260-0093 ABSTRACT Physical testing is increasingly being replaced by numerical simulation models because it provides a more rapid and less expensive way to evaluate design concepts and design details. In the aerospace industry, crashworthiness numerical simulation methods are primarily used at the very end of the product development process. Often they are applied to confirm the reliability of an already existing design, or sometimes for further design improvements by means of optimization methods. There are a number of CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools that could be used for solving aircraft crashworthiness problems. These are best utilized by using a systems approach that uses a combination of CAE analyses, component tests, sled and/or full-scale tests. The intent of this research is to provide an overview of numerical modeling practices so that FAA and industry can gain an understanding of the fundamental modeling methods, a feeling for the comparative usefulness of different modeling approaches, develop an appreciation of the modeling problem areas, and limitations of current numerical models. 1.0 INTRODUCTION The research in CBA phase I was focused in developing methods to conduct certification by analysis of aircraft seats per Advisory Circular (AC) 20-146.
