Forming Simulation Technology, LLC (FST) will work with the Center for Collision Safety and Analysis…

Forming Simulation Technology LLC has been awarded a contract by George Mason University valued at $31,500.00, effective August 1, 2026. The contractor will provide technical support to the university's Center for Collision Safety and Analysis (CCSA) across three primary task areas over an 18-month performance period. These tasks include material model development for high velocity impact applications in vehicle crashworthiness and aircraft engine containment, with focus on metal alloys and composite materials; modeling methodology development to advance simulation methods addressing multi-physics phenomena such as high velocity penetration and explosions for defensive security applications; and simulation data set development for machine learning applications targeting material modeling and vehicle impact scenarios.

Deliverables under this contract include monthly progress meetings with CCSA personnel, semi-annual invoicing beginning August 1, 2026, and a final comprehensive report accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation upon task completion. The contract is being administered by George Mason University in Virginia, with delivery to Cing-Dao Kan. The engagement leverages Forming Simulation Technology LLC's expertise to advance CCSA's simulation capabilities and data repositories in support of collision safety research and defensive security applications.
