Impact Protection

Abstract Systems Modeling evaluates the fleetwide crashworthiness of a vehicle design across the full range of potential impact speeds, angles, collision partners, occupant seating locations, and occupant restraints. Although this approach provides a more thorough assessment of crash protection than provided by a single crash test or simulation, the development of a complete Systems Model requires exhaustive simulation of every potential crash mode — a computationally prohibitive approach. This paper presents a methodology in which real world highway accident data is used to systematically develop Systems Modeling strategies that fully expose the tradeoffs between computational expense and model fidelity as measured by Harm. Using Australian side impact accident data, the paper illustrates the methodology by developing two computationally efficient strategies for developing a Systems Model for the evaluation and optimization of Side Impact protection.

Impact Protection

This study used finite element models to assess potential benefits of selected unconventional features implemented in this study for occupant protection in side impact. These features include door lockdown, gullwing door with a corrugated aluminum panel and cross-car beams. The intrusion and intrusion velocity of the B-pillar were used as the parameters for measuring side impact protection performance. No attempt was made here to assess manufacturablity, design feasibility, mass implications or market interest.

Passenger can be caused serious injury in vehicle side pole impact. Through China In-Depth Accident study (CIDAS) ,We extract some important parameters and carry on targeted research in side pole impact accident. Accident data show that: The method with vehicle lateral strike a diameter of 200mm ~ 300mm pole in the direction of 8 ~ 11 points and in the speed of less than 40km/h is in accordance with the Chinese actual accident situation. Research results show that: The important parameters of pole diameter, impact velocity, impact angle and impact point position within the CIDAS data range, The collision velocity has large effect on body structure, the collision point position and pole diameter has very little effect.The results are helpful for us to further understand the special side impact form.
