SimBRS: A University/Industry Consortium Focused on Simulation Based Solutions for Ground Vehicles
Abstract
The Simulation Based Reliability and Safety (SimBRS) research program focuses the efforts of a university and industry consortium in meeting the objectives of TARDEC to address the various aspects of design and simulation of vehicular systems to improve the safety and reliability related to the warfighter. The activities performed by the consortium are in support of any aspect of the TARDEC mission to create a broad range of multi-scale modeling, simulation, and validation tools and methodologies addressing reliability and safety, soldier-environment interface, biomechanics, and simulation-based design optimization. These methodologies include multi-scale experiments to optimize the robustness and reliability of the ground vehicle systems (tactical and combat) with the consideration of the human interaction. This paper will describe the present research focus of the consortium and illustrate the advantages of the consortium approach to solving complex engineering problems for ground vehicles.
