DYNA3D: A nonlinear, explicit, three-dimensional finite element code for solid and structural mechanics, User manual. Revision 1
R.G. Whirley,B.E. Engelmann +1 more
- 01 Nov 1993
TL;DR: The DYNA3D as mentioned in this paper is a nonlinear, explicit, finite element code for analyzing the transient dynamic response of three-dimensional solids and structures, which includes solid, shell, beam, and truss elements to allow maximum flexibility in modeling physical problems.
DYNA2D: A nonlinear, explicit, two-dimensional finite element code for solid mechanics: User manual
R.G. Whirley,B.E. Engelmann +1 more
- 01 Apr 1992
TL;DR: This report is the User Manual for the 1992 version of DYNA2D and contains a rezoner to allow nodes to be repositioned when the finite element mesh becomes excessively distorted during a calculation.

Crash energy-management structure
R.G. Whirley,B.E. Engelmann +1 more
- 10 Apr 1996
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided crash energy management structures for electric vehicles to achieve the increased crashworthiness, which can either prevent an energy source containment unit from moving forward as a result of a collision or to enhance the strength of the crumple zone.

Some aspects of sheet forming simulation using explicit finite element techniques
R.G. Whirley,B.E. Engelmann,R.W. Logan +2 more
- 28 Jul 1992
TL;DR: The use of DYNA3D to compute the Limiting Draw Ratio as a function of material anisotropy and compares the computed results for 3-D forming problems with experimental data are illustrated.

Automatic contact algorithm in DYNA3D for crashworthiness and impact problems
R.G. Whirley,B.E. Engelmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for the automatic definition and treatment of mechanical contact in explicit non-linear finite element analysis is presented, which allows a consistent treatment of shell intersection and corner contact conditions without ad hoc rules.
