IMPACT

(Integrated Methodology for Predictive Assessment of Crash-induced Threats)

The IMPACT project develops an integrated and validated numerical methodology to simulate high-energy impacts on composite aeronautical structures. Based on advanced FEM models and damage propagation and localisation criteria, it automatically estimates damage extent and safety margins, delivering quantitative outputs directly usable in design and certification processes. The methodology will be validated through realistic case studies to ensure reliability and practical consistency.
