Abstract
In previous studies, the numerical simulation models of industrial airbags were verified to have high accuracy regarding their actual dynamics. However, numerical methods were scarcely utilized to simulate and investigate the inflation height behaviors of nursing bed airbag. For this problem, this study constructs a numerical simulation model illustrating the association between the internal pressure and inflating height of nursing bed airbag, under various external loads. Firstly, based on an averaged pressure prerequisite, an airbag dynamic model is established by the control volume approach (the air inside the airbag follows the gas state equation of Poisson's law). Besides, the elastic mechanical behaviors of airbag film material are determined according to a material constitutive model built by the quasi-static uniaxial tensile test. The obtained data are used as the boundary conditions, for the numerical dynamics modeling of the nursing bed airbag. Verification experiments clarify that this numerical modeling is accurate for describing airbag inflation behaviors, and then can be effectively applied to the design and optimization phases of nursing bed airbags. Based on the simulation modeling above, the mathematical equation of controlling airbag inflating height by its internal pressure is obtained. It provides a vital basis for the differentiated and intelligent control of the airbag nursing bed.
