Safety

Center for Transportation Computational Mechanics

Student workers at the Center for Computational Mechanics

Researchers in this Federal Highway Administration-designated center headquartered at the RELLIS Campus use state-of-the-art analytical tools to accurately model crash tests on dedicated high-speed computers. These techniques enable researchers to design better, most cost-effective safety hardware at a lower cost to research sponsors by predicting how vehicles and safety devices will perform in collisions. The […]
