Contacts in LS-DYNA
LS-DYNA offers extensive possibilities to model contact. While this generous selection guarantees extreme flexibility for the contact definition, it also requires a great deal of knowledge on the user's part. The objective of this workshop is to provide the user with a summary of the possibilities and limits of the various contact formulations with focus on the selection of a suitable contact type.
Material Failure of Metals
This workshop will discuss issues related to state-of-the-art material modeling under consideration of damage and failure using the material model GISSMO. Besides a discussion on the dependency of the deformation patterns on anisotropy and the tri-axial condition, the complex descriptions of failure are explained with respect to their dependency on the finite element size.

DEVELOPER PRESENTATIONS Workshop Workshop
16:00 Interesting Things I‘ve been Working on
B. Wainscott (LSTC)
Joining Techniques in LS-DYNA
This workshop offers insight into the modeling possibilities in LS-DYNA to the most frequently used connections, such as adhesive bonding, bolt fastening, welding, spot-weld adhesive bonding or riveting. Herein, the load carrying action of the individual connections as well as their structural stability will be discussed and the possible modeling approaches are demonstrated. Finally, the reliability of the obtained results are critically reviewed with particular emphasis on scenarios that include connection failure.
Modeling Plastics
The objective of this workshop is to give an overview of the available material models for foams, rubbers and glues in LS-DYNA and on how to apply them properly. Especially in rubber materials, the strain rate dependency as well as damage play an important role in the constitutive material formulation and thus, both have to be considered. Moreover, thermoplastics exhibit a complex mechanical behavior ranging from viscoelastic to viscoplastic, which can be clearly distinguished from the incompressible yield characteristics of metals.

LS-OPT Material Parameters
The use of new materials, such as plastics, composites, foams, fabrics or high-tensile steels, demands the application of highly complex material models. These material formulations are generally associated with numerous material parameters. In this workshop, a brief introduction in LS-OPT is given with a focus on the application of LS-OPT to determine material parameters. Herein, an automatic comparison is carried out between the experimental results and the simulation results of LS-DYNA.
