Abstract: The finite element model of airdrop airbag should be updated to improve it simulation accuracy. Finite element model of payload-airbag is established. The sensitivity of the model parameters to the cushion characteristics of airbag is analyzed, and the coefficient of friction between airbag and ground and the flow coefficient of airbag are selected as the parameters to be modified. The response surface models of impact response vs. friction and flow coefficients are established. Based on the response surface models, the optimal solution is solved by genetic algorithm. The result indicates that the finite element model updating of airdrop airbag is efficient through the comparison of the simulated results before and after updating and the test results.
