eVTOL Crashworthiness Webinar

eVTOL Crashworthiness Webinar

This Innovation Series webinar focuses on advances in computational tools combined with a building block approach to allow for a cost-effective model of the crashworthiness behavior of aerospace structures. The webinar will cover current approaches to crashworthiness certification, and how these new tools might be used in the certification of eVTOL aircraft to allow for increased occupant safety and an improved cost versus safety benefit ratio.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES

Gerardo Olivares, Director and Senior Research Scientist, National Institute for Aviation Research
Dr. Olivares is the Director for Crashworthiness and the AVET Laboratories at the National Institute for Aviation Research. He has over twenty-five years of experience in the field of structural Crashworthiness and Injury Biomechanics in the aerospace and automotive industries. For the last fifteen years Dr. Olivares has been the principal investigator on multiple FAA, Industry and DoD sponsored research projects in the field of virtual engineering, aerospace crashworthiness and certification by analysis methods.

Michiel Unger, Principal Engineering Service Engineer, Siemens Digital Industries Software

Michiel Unger currently works for Siemens Industry Software as Business Developer. He is responsible for working out engineering solutions in the field of integrated safety for customers in the aviation, automotive and other industries. After his engineering degree in biomechanics at Technical University of Eindhoven, he started building up a simulation team for a safety restraints system supplier. Since 2005 he worked as lead engineer for TASS International, the developer of the occupant safety simulation software MADYMO, which was acquired by Siemens a few years ago. During his more than 25 years career in safety engineering he has worked on various publications and presentations at ESV, Safety Week, VDI, ASIDIC and more. His main drive is to develop further the safety simulation technologies to reach higher level of real live safety by using the most advanced and efficient digital tools.
