Comments

The mat_ID must be the same as /MAT/LAW19 (FABRI) or /MAT/LAW58 (FABR_A). Material porosity is active only when corresponding components are referred as external surfaces in /MONVOL/AIRBAG1, /MONVOL/COMMU1, and /MONVOL/FVMBAG1 airbag cards.
Effective leakage area ( $A_{e f f}$ ) formulation:
Ileakage =1:
$A_{e f f} = \sum_{n} L C \cdot A C \cdot A r e a_{n}$
Ileakage =2:
$A_{e f f} = \sum_{n} LC (t) \cdot AC (P) \cdot A r e a_{n}$
Ileakage =3:
$A_{e f f} = \sum_{n} LC (t) \cdot AC (P - P e x t) \cdot A r e a_{n}$
Ileakage =4:
$A_{e f f} = \sum_{n} LC (A r e a_{n} / A r e a_{0}) \cdot AC (P_{e x t} / P) \cdot A r e a_{n}$
Where,

$A r e a_{0}$

Initial area of the airbag surface

Note: By default all coefficients and functions are zero.
Ileakage =5:
$A_{e f f} = \sum_{n} \frac{A r e a_{0}}{L^{2}} [(C_{1} Δ P^{C_{2}} - C_{3}) {(L - R)}^{2} + C_{3} (L λ_{1} - R / \sqrt{λ_{2}}) (L λ_{2} - R / \sqrt{λ_{1}})] \cdot \sin α_{12}$
$Δ P = P / P_{e x t} - 1$
Where, $λ_{1}$ and $λ_{2}$ are the stretches in warp and weft directions and $α_{12}$ is the angle between warp and weft directions.
Note: For LAW19 $α_{12} = 90^{\circ}$
Ileakage =6:
$A_{e f f} = \sum_{n} A r e a_{0} (X_{0} + X_{1} r_{s} + X_{2} r_{p} + X_{3} r_{s} r_{p})$
with $r_{s} = A r e a_{n} / A r e a_{0}$ and $r_{p} = P_{e x t} / P$
Blockage of airbag fabric, due to contact, can be activated in corresponding /MONVOL card. Effective leakage area is calculated with account of the blockage as:

$A r e a_{n} = A r e a_{n o n_i m p a c t e d} + A C^{'} \cdot A r e a_{i m p a c t e d}$
