Impact simulation of elastic fuel tanks reinforced with exoskeleton for aerospace applications

The main subject of the thesis is impact simulation of an elastic fuel tank reinforced with a polymer exoskeleton. Thanks to its light weight and failure resistance, this type of design shows potential to be used in aerospace applications. The simulation imitates a drop test from the height of 20 m...
