Abstract
The article presents a model designed dummy for crash test in ADAMS. The simulated model dummy has dimensions, shapes and mass corresponding to a 50-percentile man. The simulation program allows modification of the dummy parameters. It allows to study the dynamics of motion, distribution of forces and loads of individual parts of the body of the simulated model. The article describes the design process and how to select the appropriate stiffness and damping joints for the simulated dummy. The article contains the results of simulation crash tests performed in the ADAMS program, which were compared to results of the Hybryd III dummy physical crash test. The simulation is designed to reflect the greatest compliance of the movements of individual parts of the human body during the low speed collision.
Highlights
More attention is paid to safety of people and motor vehicles
In order to verify and validate the dummy parameters, the computer simulation crash test was compared to the experimental crash test
One BioRid II dummy is used for the rear impacts, which is an improved version of the BioRid I from 1989
Summary
More attention is paid to safety of people and motor vehicles. Automotive threats are becoming more and more apparent due to increase in the number of vehicles traveling on the roads and capabilities achieved by the high-speed cars [1,2,3]. Each of these systems increases the safety of people in the car and other road users Before such a system could be introduced to the market, it has to undergo a number of tests and trials, including the crash tests. Ratings issued after the crash tests help consumers to choose the safest vehicles They motivate the car manufacturers to improve vehicle design and increase driver and passenger safety. The increase in safety systems in motor vehicles is conducive to the decreasing number of road accidents [4, 9, 12]. The simulation programs of anthropometric dummies, include such programs as: Madymo, Dytran, Dassault Systemes SIMULIA, ANSYS Engineering Simulation, SIMPACT Caterham Super 7, MSC Software ADAMS These programs allow to perform simulated crash tests with minimal financial burdens. The demand for simulation programs and performing computer simulations prior to experimentation affects the development of specialized program networks [18,19,20,21,22]
