Design and reinforcement of vehicle side structure for vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection under MDB side impact

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering
Vehicle side impact accidents have high fatality rates due to limited deformation buffer and insufficient energy absorption of side structures. Simply enhancing structural stiffness and energy absorption characteristics may lead to increased occupant ...

Crashworthiness analysis of a truck

open access: yesMathematical and Computer Modelling, 1990
This paper presents a computer-based technique for the dynamic analysis of multibody systems undergoing large motion and nonlinear structural deformations. As a specific example, this formulation is applied to the rollover simulation of a truck in order to determine the deformation of its safety rollbar cage.
