Numerical simulation of impact of aircraft and engine into concrete wall

A safety assessment needs to be conducted to analyze the damage caused by an aircraft impacting into a concrete structure at a nuclear power plant. One of the analytical methods used for this issue is a numerical impact simulation conducted after aircraft and reinforced concrete (RC) models are dete...

description A safety assessment needs to be conducted to analyze the damage caused by an aircraft impacting into a concrete structure at a nuclear power plant. One of the analytical methods used for this issue is a numerical impact simulation conducted after aircraft and reinforced concrete (RC) models are determined. We established the RC model and aircraft model in this study and confirmed the applicability of an impact simulation. Validation of our RC model was confirmed by conducting impact simulations of an F4 Phantom engine (GE-J79) crashing into three different wall thicknesses of 900, 1150, and 1600 mm.
