Computational Modeling of Failure at the Fabric Weave Level in Reentry Parachute Energy Modulators
NASA researchers developed a high‑fidelity computational model of re‑entry parachute energy modulators (EM) at the fabric‑weave level using LS‑DYNA. The model represents each Kevlar and nylon thread as solid elements and includes a Python script that replicates the unit stitch along an entire EM ear, eliminating large CAD assemblies. Preliminary simulations captured the interaction and progressive failure of stitching, shedding light on the previously observed EM shredding phenomenon. The workflow also streamlines design iterations for future EM variants.
