摘要
The world's first successful simulation of an explosion on board a commercial airliner is expected to provide a significant boost to understanding how to harden airliners against bombs. An explosion of this type occurs extremely quickly and its simulation requires simultaneous operation of both a fluid and a structural code. McDonnell-Douglas engineers overcame these problems by coupling two explicit finite element codes so that the results of each are communicated to the other. The validity of this approach is supported by adequate agreement with the available experimental evidence.
