IMPETUS Conference 2019

IMPETUS User Meeting (ID 2.5)

Accurate and robust simulations of impact, blast and terminal ballistics require proper knowledge.

Both pre-calibrated material models and validated models of threats reduce risks of errors in the model set-up. Having such knowledge stored in a system, accessible to many users, can make the engineering process highly efficient and user-friendly. However, protection of valuable data is crucial for all interacting parties.

This meeting will focus on how the IMPETUS platform can help users collaborate and exchange data in a secure and flexible manner. We also want to raise the question and discuss how the platform can be improved.

IMPETUS will demonstrate new advanced material models for terminal ballistics and how the calibrated material data can be protected and licensed by users within the IMPETUS community.

The meeting is an opportunity to bring together IMPETUS users having expertise on material testing and material calibration, test laboratories, research organisations, universities, agencies, consulting companies, suppliers and OEMs within the defense market.
