Enhanced Finite Element Analysis Crash Model of Tractor-Trailers (Phase A)
| 项目名称： | Enhanced Finite Element Analysis Crash Model of Tractor-Trailers (Phase A) |
| 摘要： | Most of the barriers used on US highways to mitigate the effect of run off the road incidents were designed for use with passenger vehicles and not heavy vehicles. The objective of this project is to validate and enhance computer models of a heavy vehicle (tractor -semi trailer combination) that will be used in finite element analysis, design, and evaluation of roadside safety hardware. This effort will enable the tractor-trailer model developed by the National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) to provide more realistic results in predicting performance of vehicles and barriers in a crash, and significantly reduce the need for costly full-scale crash tests of expensive trucks similar to a model developed previously by NTRCI for single unit trucks. In addition, a User's Manual/Website will be developed to facilitate use of the model. |
