This paper compares transportation mockup cask impact test results onto real surfaces with FEA numerical simulation results. The impact test results are from a series of cask impact tests that were conducted by Sandia National Laboratories (Gonzales 1987). The Sandia tests were conducted with a half-scale instrumented cask mockup impacting an essentially unyielding surface, in-situ soil, concrete runways, and concrete highways. The cask numerical simulations with these same surfaces are conducted with ABAQUS/Explicit, Version 5.8, The results are then compared and evaluated to access the viability of using numerical simulation to predict the impact behavior of transportation casks under hypothetical accident conditions.

In order to analyze the feasibility of barrier safety performance evaluation with computer simulation method, finite-element models of various vehicles and barriers were set up and simulations results are compared to multiple full-scale impact test data. The results indicate that all safety performance index such as vehicle trajectory, structural adequacy, occupant risk and dynamic deformation can be extracted from computer simulation and FEA results are coincident with those of tests with error less than 10%. Computer simulation method is proved to be highly feasible for safety performance evaluation of barriers. The concept that simulation models must be verified through tests is stressed and the suggestion that laws and regulations on professional audit and management of CAE engineers should be completed is brought out.
