Structural Crashworthiness analysis:s 

Introduction to Structural Crashworthiness
Brief Outline : Crashworthiness of the automobile is important from the energy management and occupant safety point of view. This is a basic course which covers all the important advanced theory aspects of crash /impact simulation and a number of tutorials followed by practical projects on subsystem are covered in this course . HYPERMESH and RADIOSS are the tools used for this .
Eligibility : Post Graduate Enginnering students of Mechanical , Production ,Automobile engg branches or experienced candidates.
Prerequisite : Finite Element Modeling and Basic FEA Course.
