Application of MADYMO in the design of a crashworthy aircraft passenger seat
conference paper
Following the FAR/JAR 25-562 1 , the DYNASAFE RTD programme was started in order to develop a crashworthy 16 g seat. This paper describes the simulation of this seat and occupants using MADYMO 2,3,4 multibody and finite element techniques. These simulations are capable of showing the seat and occupant loads and kinematics and floor reaction loads, even before the first seat prototype is built. In this way the feasibility of a solution for the 16 g requirements can easily be evaluated. Furthermore, if the seat design needs improvement, directions can be given by means of parametric studies and optimisation.
