Adaptive crashworthiness concept

International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2004
Abstract A design methodology for adaptive structures (structures equipped with controllable dissipaters) with high crashworthiness performance is proposed. A numerical package capable of solving particular problems, i.e. (i) crashworthiness analysis of structure with fixed properties of dissipaters, (ii) optimal remodelling of adaptive structure and

Door Crashworthiness Criteria

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1971
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A study of the biomechanical factors concerned with the design of side structures and doors for crashworthiness has been made. Questions regarding optimum stiffness, location of reinforcing members, effect of armrests, and padding have been answered within the framework of injury criteria models.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Stochastic Applications in Crashworthiness

Crashworthiness of Composites and Lightweight Structures, 2001
Abstract Due to geometrical, and material property variations, response of any structural member varies from the nominal design value. Typically the geometrical and material variations are the resultant of manufacturing variations. In this paper, the effect of these variations about the nominal values on structural response is studied ...
