On the crashworthiness optimisation of a new multi-corner tube under axial loading

Ships and Offshore Structures, 2023
In this paper, multi-objective crashworthiness optimisation of the new multi-corner cross-section tubes has been studied. The experimental validated Abaqus/ExplicitTM finite element simulations have been utilised to analyse the force and energy ...

Numerical simulation and theoretical analysis of the crashworthiness of a tree-like hierarchical multicellular bi-tube

Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures
Drawing inspiration from the branching structure of trees, a novel Tree-like Hierarchical Multi-cellular Bi-tube (THMBT) has been devised. This design merges the hierarchical distribution traits of tree branches with the superior crashworthiness of ...

A new method for predicting crashworthiness

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1997
Consumer information concerning the predicted 'safeness' of a new car model is based on the results of crash tests. Unfortunately, because it allows comparisons only within size/weight groups, the information is somewhat incompatible with the normal car-purchase decision process since consumers often consider cars within different groups.

Designing for aircraft structural crashworthiness

International Air Transportation Conference, 1981
This report describes structural aviation crash dynamics research activities being conducted on general aviation aircraft and transport aircraft. The report includes experimental and analytical correlations of load-limiting subfloor and seat configurations tested dynamically in vertical drop tests and in a horizontal sled deceleration facility ...

Injury Mitigation in Locomotive Crashworthiness

Joint Rail, 2005
The objective of this work sponsored by the Federal Railroad Administration is to develop mitigation methods for safety of crew members in the event of train collisions. The measures considered are seatbelts, airbags, a reversing seat, an energy absorbing seat, a load limiting seat, and their combinations.

Experimental crashworthiness analysis of corrugated-core sandwich panels under impact loading

Ships and Offshore Structures
This research scrutinizes and contrasts the crashworthiness of single-core and two-core corrugated sandwich panels with varying configurations, influenced by crucial parameters like thickness, core angle, and foam filling.

Vehicle crashworthiness ratings in Australia

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1994
The paper reviews the published vehicle safety ratings based on mass crash data from the United States, Sweden, and Great Britain. It then describes the development of vehicle crashworthiness ratings based on injury compensation claims and police accident reports from Victoria and New South Wales, the two most populous states in Australia ...
