“…However, high costs involved in experiments and complex setups with lengthy preparation time often challenge the development of aircraft structural parts. Moreover, impacted structures during experiments become severely damaged and further reuse is not practicable (Plassard et al, 2015;Heimbs et al, 2018;Orlando et al, 2017).Therefore, commercial computer simulation codes (Abaqus, Ansys, LS-Dyna, MSC Dytran, etc.) are regularly used as alternatives of bird-strike experiments for early-stage research and development of various structural parts, materials, joints, etc.…”
