Paul Du Bois - Lead Consultant
Paul Du Bois has worked as an independent consultant in the field of industrial application of large scale numerical simulations since September 1987.
He has specialized in the application of explicit integration techniques for crashworthiness and impact problems. Among Paul’s customers are most of the world’s automotive assemblers such as Daimler, GM, Ford, Opel, Fiat, Porsche, Volvo, PSA, Renault, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, Tesla and Lucid motor.
Paul worked with NASA, Boeing , Blue Origin, Gorge Mason University, FAA, Apple, P & G, NREL, Westinghouse, NHTSA, FHA, Delphi, Multimatic, Humanetics, USAMP, JOYSON, RECARO, ROUSH, SIKA, Westinghouse and Cray etc
Paul’s more recent projects include a Daimler sponsored development of a generalized plasticity law for the simulation of plastics and the formulation of a tabulated hyper-elastic material law with damage for the simulation of rubber and foam.
He was involved with the joint research organization of the German automotive industry, FAT, in the working groups: ‘Side Impact Dummies’ from 1992 through 1997 and ‘Foam Materials’ (1996 until 2009). In 2003, Paul was asked by LSTC to perform a training mission at the Russian national laboratory in Snezinskh.
Since 2004, he has also been a consultant to NASA and has worked on the space shuttle’s ‘return-to-flight’ program. In the field of defense applications, he is a consultant to Rafael in Haifa, Israel where he was involved in the simulation of mine blast problems and helicopter crash landings.
