Crash, Impact and Occupant Safety
PAM-CRASH/SAFE Materials
Reference: CRS-M-I

Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1-2 days
Audience: CAE engineers, designers and specialists in structural crash and occupant safety
Objectives: Learn to select the most appropriate material type for PAM-CRASH and to use it properly.
Prerequisites: Course: Getting started with PAM-CRASH 2G (CRS-C-B). Or basic knowledge of PAM-CRASH, particularly on the theory of available PAM-CRASH models
Description: Overview of the various PAM-CRASH/SAFE material models, including theory and typology according to the different industrial applications. The course also covers how to determine mathematical model parameters from experimental results.
Course content:
  • Introduction to material model theory: elasticity, plasticity, elasto-plasticity, visco-elasticity, visco-plasticity
  • Metals: strain hardening definition, strain rate sensitivity, damage and failure
  • Foam: classification of the different types of foam, overview of available models, test set-up, parameter characterization
  • Rubber: incompressibility, test set-up, parameter characterization, examples
  • Plastics: how to model plastics with PAM-CRASH
  • Composite: composite failure models, modeling delamination
  • Fabrics


For customized material training, we suggest that participants send their own material models or user subroutines in advance to ESI.
