Structural Crashworthiness
Advanced Simulation Techniques for Low Speed Vehicle Impacts
During recent years the development of new vehicles has had to cope with continuously emerging requirements, implemented by new legislations and consumer tests (e.g. EuroNCAP) to insure occupant and pedestrian protection as well as new insurance classification tests to improve passenger car damageability and repairability. In a low speed vehicle impact performed to assess the […]
Development of simplified models for automotive crashworthiness simulation and design using optimization
A review of the literature showed that very little had been done for identification and development of simplified models for automotive crash problems. Development of such models is desirable for use at the conceptual design stage of automotive structure
