Improving FEM crash simulation accuracy through local thickness estimation based on CAD data
In this paper, we present a method for estimating local thickness distribution in finite element models, applied to injection molded and cast engineering parts. This method features considerable improved performance compared to two previously proposed approaches, and has been validated against thickness measured by different human operators. We also demonstrate that the use of this method for a...

This reprehensible decision, according to Dowie's ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Event Data Recorders in Full Systems Crash Tests
The Event Data Recorders (EDRs), now being installed as standard equipment by several automakers, are increasingly being used as an independent measurement of crash severity, which avoids many of the difficulties of traditional crash reconstruction methods. Little has been published however about the accuracy of the data recorded by the current generation of EDRs in a real world collision. Prev...
