The moving world of engineering
The world of engineering is constantly moving. Here we gather some of the most important developments and news.
Offshore wind turbines face growing ship‑collision risk. The blog shows how explicit FE analysis in LS‑DYNA handles short, highly nonlinear impacts more robustly than implicit methods. A monopile case study highlights energy dissipation, damage dependence on vessel and speed, and critical secondary hazards—instability and nacelle fall—supporting system‑level risk assessment.
