Numerical simulation of crashworthiness parameters for design optimization of an automotive crash-box

open access: yesInternational Journal for Simulation and Multidisciplinary Design Optimization, 2022
Automotive manufacturers rely on rigorous testing and simulations to construct their vehicles durable and safe in all aspects. One such vital factor is crash safety, otherwise known as crashworthiness.

Application of crash pulse on the car crashworthiness design

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
Crash pulse is an acceleration curve measured in the car during a crash test. The shape, time duration, and maximum acceleration of crash pulse may influence the predicted motion of the occupants.

Experimental observations of an 8ms-1 drop test of a metallic helicopter underfloor structure onto a hard surface: part 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
: This is the first part of a two-part paper that describes the experimental observations for two similar sections of floor that were dropped onto both hard and water surfaces at 8 m/s, as a part of one experimental campaign.

Finding Crash-Consistency Bugs with Bounded Black-Box Crash Testing

open access: yesCoRR, 2018
We present a new approach to testing file-system crash consistency: bounded black-box crash testing (B3). B3 tests the file system in a black-box manner using workloads of file-system operations. Since the space of possible workloads is infinite, B3 bounds this space based on parameters such as the number of file-system operations or which operations ...

Crash test using a car with automatic pre-crash braking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The utilisation of secondary-safety systems to protect occupants has attained a very high level over the past decades. Further improvements are still possible, but increasingly minor progress is only to be had with a high degree of effort.

Passive Occupant Safety Solutions for Non-Conventional Seating Positions

open access: yesFuture Transportation
In a fully autonomous vehicle, the driver becomes a passenger, free to adopt different seating positions. This change challenges traditional passive safety systems—such as seatbelts, airbags and seat design—that are optimised for a forward-facing ...
