To address the challenging out-of-position (OoP) load case with Ls-Dyna, the corpuscular (particle) method has been recently developed together with the advanced finite element (FE) airbag simulation method. Within this study, an ...

To address the challenging out-of-position (OoP) load case with Ls-Dyna, the corpuscular (particle) method has been recently developed together with the advanced finite element (FE) airbag simulation method. Within this study, an ...

This talk compares after a short introduction different gas dynamic methods and discusses the predictability of corpuscular methods. Further on, an application of gas dynamic airbag models is being presented.

The corpuscular method for airbag deployment simulations in LS-DYNA has quickly gained popularity. The method is inherently stable, easy to use and relatively fast. One drawback, though, is poor handling of small vent holes. The gas ...

The occupant protection and especially the pedestrian protection are getting more and more important since several years. The reason is the insufficient safety of the pedestrian against severe injuries during the impact with vehicles. ...

Project work being conducted at P+Z Engineering has resulted in the need to develop a tool to aid in the FE-Simulation in accordance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201u commonly known as FMVSS201u. The task was to automate ...

L. Berger, C. Sahr (RWTH Aachen) The occupant protection and especially the pedestrian protection are getting more and more important since several years. The reason is the insufficient safety of the pedestrian against severe ...

Pedestrian protection is one development issue where up-frontloading is essential. Bringing in new innovative ideas, based on analytical approaches and parameter studies, which would allow checking the efficiency of the concept even ...

Human modelling is a rather new development in occupant and pedestrian safety simulations in the automotive industry and gained much importance and interest in recent years. However it is still in a very early development phase and ...

Various numerical models of crash test dummies have been developed over the last decade ranging from rigid body models to deformable models. Today, these models have become an integral part of vehicle interior and restraint ...
