Shaping the Future of Body Armour

The effectiveness of PPE is compromised by ergonomic issues hindering the wearer's mobility. This study describes what it takes to develop more ergonomic chest plates.

How soft armour works

Have you ever wondered how a bullet resistant jacket works and how the layers of fabric within stops a bullet? Simpact have, and by understanding fully how something works you are in a much better position to tailor a better solution towards a specific set of requirements. It makes the difference between a trial and error and a scientific approach.

The application of 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to blast load cases

Our defence client came to us asking for us to provide an accurate calculation of dynamic displacements in 3D during a blast load case

BLiSS - Butted Lightweight Steel Structures

The UK low volume/niche vehicle industry and the bicycle industry have been a particular interest of ours and in this project, we transfer technology from one to the other and evaluated the use of butted (variable wall thickness) tubing for lightweight automotive spaceframes.

Airbag Design For Aircraft Store Capture

Our customers seem to like working with us and we have been asked to write about what we do to make more people aware of the nature of what Simpact offer. We’d like to do this by talking about an interesting Aerospace project. Like most of our customer enquiries, it started with a phone call where we helped them to identify their requirements

Impact Energy Absorbing Boss

The impact energy absorbing boss has been designed, developed and manufactured by Simpact for use by their Niche vehicle customers wanting to achieve ECE-R12 European Type Approval. The boss is retrofitted to an existing steering column assembly between the column and steering wheel.
