Comparison of finite element analysis of impact on water and soil using Lagrangian, ALE, and SPH approaches and airframe impact applications

According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports on aircraft accidents, 80 percent of all crashes occur on water and land. The research in this thesis used computational finite element modeling and analysis to study the effects of impacts on water and soft soil with respect to the structur...
