Real world accident reconstruction with the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) in Pam-Crash
(2013)
Further improvement of vehicle safety needs detailed analysis of real world accidents. According to GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Study) most car to car front accidents occur at mid-crash severity. In this range thoracic injuries already occur. In this study a real world frontal crash with mid-crash severity out of the AARU database was reconstructed. The selected car to car accident was reconstructed by AARU by means of pc-crash software in order to get the initial dynamic accident conditions. These initial conditions were used to reconstruct the complete accident in more detail using FE models for the car structure and the occupants. Occupant simulations were performed with FE HIII-dummy models and the THUMS using Pam-Crash code. An initial THUMS validation was performed in order to verify the model-´s biofidelity by means of table-top test simulations. THUMS bone stiffness values were modified to match the real word occupant age. A comparison between driver and passenger restraint system loading was done, as well as an injury prediction comparison between the HIII-dummy model and THUMS response for both cases. Detailed comparison between the HIII-dummy models and THUMS regarding thoracic loading are discussed.
Among European Countries, Spain first issued a Standard, UNE 135900:2005, further updated in 2008, that deals with homologation and effectiveness evaluation of road restraint systems components designed to reduce harm for bikers impacting on them. An in depth analysis and critical review of this standard is reported in this paper. Beside a close examination of the standard requirements, numerical models of the crash test stated by the standard have been set up and simulated to study the effects of slight speed and approach angle variations on test results, remaining within tolerance gaps allowed by the standard. Model were validated against experimental data. Together with the expected increasing severity of the impact according with speed, a strong influence of approach angle on injury parameters was found. Possible improvements to the norm, in order to make it more robust, are suggested.
Im Beitrag wird über Rissbildungen in orthotropen Fahrbahnplatten, die im "Schubzahn" des Querträgerstegblechs von den Anschlussschweissnähten trapezförmiger Längsträger ausgehen, berichtet. Der Rissausgangspunkt liegt im Bereich der Ausnehmung des Querträgersteges für die durchlaufenden Längsträger. Durch Optimierung der Querträgerausnehmung und örtliche Verstärkung (Aufpflasterung) des Querträgerstegblechs im Bereich des Schubzahnes soll eine dauerhafte Instandsetzung der aufgetretenen Schäden ermöglicht werden. Durch genauere numerische und versuchstechnische Untersuchungen soll diese Aussage untermauert werden. Einzelheiten der bereits durchgeführten Untersuchungen werden mitgeteilt.
