💧Understand the Physics of Re-Entry Vehicles Using Numerical Modeling and Simulation
Recreating the atmospheric conditions of Mars is a challenging task. Traditional continuum mechanics assumptions are ineffective at high Mach numbers and low densities, making it difficult to replicate re-entry velocity and temperature in wind tunnels. In such situations, numerical methods and computer simulations help understand the underlying physics of re-entry vehicles.
In this detailed case study, learn about computation methodology, atmospheric chemistry modelling, and test cases for vehicle re-entry into the Mars atmosphere.
🤖 Low-Code AI in MATLAB R2023b
Updates for explainability in the Classification Learner and Regression Learner apps. You can now use LIME and Shapley to explain how trained models predict locally.
💻 Higher crash safety of composites through simulation with LS-DYNA
Crashworthiness is one of the most critical factors that every car manufacturer must take into account during the development phase of a vehicle. The safety of occupants and pedestrians depends largely on the vehicle's crashworthiness. An optimal vehicle body design for crash performance ensures that occupants and pedestrians are maximally protected in traffic accidents.
At the same time, regulations for vehicle crashworthiness are becoming increasingly stringent. To reliably and efficiently predict and demonstrate the crashworthiness of lightweight composite components, particular expertise is required to simulate highly dynamic processes and understand the composite materials used.

💻 Engineering Tool of the Week – Sparselizard
Sparselizard is a high-performance, multiphysics, hp-adaptive, open source C++ finite element library running on Linux, Mac and Windows. A fast algorithm for mesh-to-mesh interpolation and a general implementation of the mortar finite element method allow to easily work with non-matching meshes and provide general periodic conditions. FEM simulations can be weakly or strongly coupled to lumped electric circuits.
Sparselizard can handle a general set of problems in 3D, 2D axisymmetric, 2D and 1D such as mechanical (anisotropic elasticity, geometric nonlinearity, buckling, contact, crystal orientation), fluid flow (laminar, creeping, incompressible, compressible), stabilized advection-diffusion, nonlinear acoustic, thermal, thermoacoustic, fluid-structure interaction, electric, magnetic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, superconductor,... problems with a transient, (multi)harmonic or damped/undamped eigenmode analysis.
📚Book of the Week
Computational Fluid Dynamics by John D. Anderson
This pioneering text provides an excellent introduction to CFD at the senior level in aerospace and mechanical engineering and to some extent, chemical and civil engineering. It can also serve as a one-semester introductory course at the beginning graduate level, as a valuable precursor to a more serious study of CFD in advanced books. It is presented in a very readable, informal, enjoyable style.
