I am member of IRS component group and side system group. With the use of RADIOSS, LS-Dyna, PAM-Crash and ABAQUS solvers I buildup new airbag modules. I follow the complete modeling process of a Passenger Airbag, Knee Airbag, Curtain Airbag and Side Airbag. I head also the folding process by using the SIM-Folder tool. The models are oriented for performance or integrity study. I am in continuous interaction with designers, project managers, test operators and external customer.

Title: Influence analysis of different folding variants on passenger airbag deployment. Work description: the work plan was composed of folding develop, deployment prediction, deployment simulation, folding table procedure, hardware tests and result analysis. During the activity I have created different folding variants for a PAB in order to discover if it is possible to predict the airbag deployment behaviour before the hardware test implementation.

Title: study and application of a folding and a deployment methodology for a driver bag using LS-Dyna Work description: during the activity I have analysed steps to develop and test different methodologies of folding for a driver bag. Later I started to simulate the bag filling by using LS-Dyna and by analysing results.
