The hood deforms into a mountain landscape, the windscreen shatters – in complete silence, with no casualties. Today, accident situations are increasingly being simulated by high-performance computers. This allows developers to identify and improve defects even before a prototype is built. This saves some expensive real crash tests and increases driving safety. At least if everything is calculated correctly. The theoretical basis for this is provided by mathematicians such as Prof. Dr. Carolin Kreisbeck from the KU.
