The extensive use of composite materials in helicopter structures has prompted new research activities in crashworthiness in the last decade. A rational design of crashworthy structures requires a great deal of data and experience to be collected and organized; in particular the most efficient mechanisms of energy adsorption must be understood and carefully investigated and consequently the best structural concepts an detail design can be identified. With this aim and in cooperation with Augusta Helicopters a research program has been undertaken, covering many of the basic aspects of crashworthy design, i.e. dynamic modeling, design and verification procedures.
