Finite element modeling of bird impacts has been developed and calibrated using the 3-D impact analysis code MSC/DYTRAN. These modeling efforts have shown that the Arbitrary Lagrange Euler (ALE) formulation within MSC/DYTRAN is capable of capturing the physics of the bird impact problem, producing impact pressures and damage similar to that of a real bird. This work is divided into two areas. First, a review of the literature was carried out to identify the physical processes, pressures and damage associated with real bird impacts. Second, finite element modeling of two simple bird impacts cases were carried out using MSC/DYTRAN. A comparison of the finite element predictions with the experimental data showed excellent agreement, and demonstrated the robustness of the ALE formulation.
