“Use of Computer Simulation in Litigation — with emphasis on Vehicles, Humans, and Structures”

John Zolock, PhD, PE
Exponent Inc.

Sri Danthurthi
Exponent Inc.

This talk discusses how computer simulation can be used in litigation matters involving vehicle accidents, people being injured, and/or building structures. The talk will include a discussion of the approaches to how comprehensive a simulation needs to be conducted, how validation is performed, where simulations can go wrong, and how to present the results to a jury. Examples of vehicle impacts, vehicle handling maneuvers, human dynamics and injury potential, and building loading and failure will be discussed.
