Rollover Crashworthiness of a Rural Transport Vehicle Using Madymo
In this work a full vehicle model of a rural transport vehicle (RTV) is developed in MADYMO. The steering, tier and suspension are modeled using standard modules available in the package. A speed controller was also incorporated to maintain a constant speed of the vehicle in the simulations. Validation of the model was done against experimental accelerations measured over a bump. The validated ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Passenger Rail Vehicle Crashworthiness
In recent years there has been an increased effort to investigate and improve the crashworthiness of passenger rail vehicles in the United States. The structural crashworthiness requirements for new rail vehicles are changing to include specifications for crash energy management and crush zones rather than primarily specifications of vehicle and component strengths. In addition, the structural ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Madymo-based Model for Simulation of Laboratory Rollover Test Modes
Types of vehicle rollovers can be classified into two categories: untripped and tripped. Untripped rollovers are relatively rare events resulting from high lateral friction forces between the tires and road. Tripped rollovers are the result of lateral forces caused by the tire or wheel digging into the road or ground or from striking a curb or other obstacles. As reported in the open literature...
متن کاملAn Investigation on Crash Worthiness of Different Vehicle Brands: A Case Study of Rollover Crashes
This study aimed at indexing crash worthiness capability of 20 most frequently used car brands in Iran. Since rollover crashes are one of the most important crash types due to their high impact on crash severity, they were chosen as the case study of the current research. In this regard, the data of 42,118 rollover crashes of urban and rural roads of Iran which occurred from 2009 to 2012 was us...
متن کاملImproved Vehicle Crashworthiness via Shape Optimization
Advancements in high-performance computing and in nonlinear dynamic structural simulation have made it possible to virtually test potential designs prior to building and testing expensive prototypes. These tools alone, however, still require an engineer to develop a design based on intuition and numerous time-consuming and error-prone iterations. The next level of advancement is software to aut...
