Repeatability of Full-scale Crash Tests and a Criteria for Validating Simulation Results
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a method of comparing two acceleration time histories to determine if they describe similar physical events. The method can be used to assess the repeatability of full-scale crash tests and it can also be used as a criterion for assessing how well a finite element analysis of a collision event simulates a corresponding full-scale crash test. The method is used to compare a series of six identical crash tests and then is used to compare a finite element analysis to a fullscale crash test.

Repeatability of Full - Scale Crash Tests and Criteria for Validating Simulation Results
A method of comparing two acceleration time histories to determine whether they describe similar physical events is described. The method can be used to assess the repeatability of full-scale crash tests and it can also be used as a criterion for assessing how well a finite-element analysis of a collision event simulates a corresponding full-scale crash test. The method is used to compare a ser...
متن کاملAcceptance criteria for validation metrics in roadside safety based on repeated full-scale crash tests
This paper proposes acceptance criteria for quantitative comparison metrics to be applied in the Verification and Validation (V&V) process of computational models used in roadside safety. Typically, the degree of verification or validation of a numerical model is assessed by qualitatively comparing the shapes of two curves, but qualitative comparisons are subjective and open to interpretation. ...
متن کاملComparison of Validation Metrics Using Repeated Full-scale Automobile Crash Tests
Qualitatively comparing the shapes of time histories to validate experiments with computational simulations is a common technique in both general computational mechanics as well as computational roadside safety. Qualitative comparisons, however, are subjective and open to interpretation. A variety of quantitative metrics are available for comparing time history data as well but developing accep...
متن کاملCrash performance of strong-post W-beam guardrail with missing blockouts
Missing blockouts in a strong-post w-beam guardrail, a condition most commonly associated with environmental decay or crash damage, has never been thoroughly investigated. To determine the risks posed by the removal of a blockout, a combination of component-level pendulum testing and full-scale finite element models of crash tests was used to assess whether a missing blockout renders the guardr...
