Abstract

The article concerns the testing two thin-walled fiberglass materials. The aim of this work was to perform tensile tests at room temperature in order to determine the stress-relative deformation dependence in selected directions and to compare the properties of each individual material in these directions. Characteristics determined in this way are to be used as inputs in simulation models forming a part of the process of validating the dummy model’s behaviour in simulations of collisions of the tram front with a pedestrian. Tests have been conducted of such properties of those materials used for external panelling of 15T and T3 tram fronts. The knowledge of these properties is crucial in terms of the mentioned validation. The output of the measurement includes tensile diagrams, including the evaluation of the ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus and relative elongation at the ultimate tensile strength. Also, the conversion of the elastic modulus for the fibreglass with a different fibre volume part is presented.
