SIGMALab– Politecnico di Milano, ITALY

TITLE: Ballistic tolerance of helicopter components, impact and residual strength

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:1.Development of numerical models able to simulate the ballistic impact against actual helicopter components (thick, 3D structures); mast, hub, blade, floor2.Set-up and carry out of experimental tests (TBD)3.Investigation in residual strength

METHODOLOGY: numerical - experimental (exploiting existing results, new tests TBD)

DURATION: 9 months
