A Mechanism Of Meshing A Folded Airbag
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a novel algorithm for generating a geometric mesh of an airbag after a series of folds are defined on it, for use in crash simulations. The process of airbag folding is simulated as a series of geometric transformations to the airbag mesh, which is modeled as a stack of connected planar layers. Along with these transformations, optimization techniques are used to minimise change in the geometry and the area of the airbag post inflation. The results from this approach are compared with other commercial airbag folding software, and it is observed that the algorithm is effective in ensuring minimum change in the area and geometry of the airbag during the folding process.

متن کاملAirbag deployment and improperly restrained children: a lethal combination.
BACKGROUND Airbag deployment is an acknowledged mechanism of serious trauma in children involved in motor vehicle crashes. From a review of national databases, we determined the number and types of fatal and nonfatal injuries to children caused by airbag deployment and child restraint system use. We also reviewed the relevant literature and provide information useful for caregivers and health c...
متن کاملOptimization of an Automobile Curtain Airbag using Design of Experiments
A side collision of an automobile poses a higher risk of injury compared to those of a frontal collision. Therefore governments and insurance companies establish and implement new safety standards in order to ensure the safety of the occupants throughout the world. Most of the suggested standards aim to reduce the Head Injury Criterion (HIC). Widely used side airbag systems, including the curta...
متن کاملDynamic Meshing Characteristics of Elliptic Cylinder Gear Based on Tooth Contact Analysis
As the most important working area of gear, teeth play the role of transmitting load and power. Tooth line and tooth profile are the two main characteristics of the tooth surface, which affect the shape of the tooth surface, tooth meshing characteristics and contact characteristics. Taking the elliptical cylinder gear pair in the reversing device of a new type of drum pumping unit as the resear...
