Increased Capability and Interface for Computational Code for Implosion: Parameters, Procedures, Constitutive Model Calibration & Modeling GUI Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Topic No.: N121-091 Topic Title: Increased Capability and Interface for Computational Code for Implosion: Parameters, Procedures, Constitutive Model Calibration & Modeling GUI Proposal No.: N121-091-0723 Firm: Weidlinger Associates, Inc. 40 Wall Street, 18th Floor New York, New York 10005 Contact: Najib Abboud Phone: (212) 367-3074 Web Site: http://www.wai.com Abstract: The new physics-based computational code under development through the ONR Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program represents the state-of-the-art in coupled fluid-structure finite element calculation for fluid-structure coupled analyses such as those encountered in implosion applications. Weidlinger Associates Inc., in collaboration with Professor Jeong-Hoon Song of the University of South Carolina, propose to leverage their extensive and respective expertise towards enhancing the capability offered by DYNA-3D/AERO-F through development of procedures, best practices and automated constitutive calibration methods. We propose to enhance the code usability as well through the development of a graphical interface that acts as a guide to the analyst. Benefits: The effort in this SBIR, aimed at developing systematic procedures and best practices, as well as interfaces, is intended to transition this enabling technology into the hands of a wider audience of naval analysts and UUV designers who have a stake in achieving Navy certification and acceptance for UUVs of increased capabilities. Therein lies the primary commercial opportunity. Other potential comercial aplicatiosn exist in teh offshore oil industry. Return
