Research on Finite Element Model of Moving Deformable Barrier in Side Impact

Abstract

The Occupant Protection of Vehicle Side Impact (GB20071-2006) is a compulsive and executable standard that all M1 and N1 style vehicle must obey to. Simulation for vehicle side impact is one of important test methods to study vehicle impact safety. And the model of moving deformable barrier (MDB) is the basic tool of the test. According to the requirements in regulation for the performance and test verification method of MDB, the finite element model of MDB is built and the simulation test is carried out to verify the correctness of the model. And the simulation results show the model is accurate and effective.
