    Keywords : Side impact beam; IIHS; side crash; side impact crash testing; crash testing of automobiles; industrial design engineering; automotive design; product design; Sidokrockskydd; IIHS; sidokrock; sidokollision; sidokrocktestning; krocktest av bilar; teknisk design; bildesign; produktdesign;

    Abstract : 23% of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in 2019 was side-impact collisions and is a ongoing problem that continues to take people’s lives (IIHS, 2021a). IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) is an organization based in USA, which performs vehicle crash tests with the goal of making cars safer and reducing deaths and injuries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Safe learning and control in complex systems

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Edvin Attebo; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : When autonomously controlling physical objects, a deviation from a trajectorycan lead to unwanted impacts, which can be very expensive or even dangerous. Thedeviation may be due to uncertainties, either from disturbance or model mismatch. READ MORE

  4. 3. Robust post impact vehicle motion control using torque vectoring

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : Nikhil Jain; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Several statistical studies have suggested that the risk of injury is significantly higher in multiple event accidents (MEAs) than in single event crashes. Improper driving in such scenarios leads to hazardous vehicle heading angles and excessive lateral deviations from thevehicle path, resulting in severe secondary crashes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design Analysis and Optimization of Front Underrun Protection Device

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Anil Sharma; [2018]
    Keywords : Finite Element Method; Topology Optimization; Crash Analysis.;

    Abstract : Under-running of passenger vehicle is one of the major parameters to be considered during the design and development of truck chassis. Front Under-run Protection Device (FUPD) plays an important role in avoiding under-running of vehicles from front side of a truck. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of Dynamic Test Method and Optimisation of Hybrid Carbon Fibre B-pillar

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Emil Johansson; Markus Lindmark; [2017]
    Keywords : Dynamic test method; B-pillar; Crash worthiness; Side impact crash test; IIHS; Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite; Composite failure; CFRP; UD; 2x2 Twill; Delamination; Finite Element Method; LS-Dyna; Steel-composite interface; Bilinear fracture toughness;

    Abstract : The strive for lower fuel consumption and downsizing in the automotive industry has led to the use of alternative high performance materials, such as fibre composites. Designing chassis components with composite materials require accurate simulation models in order to capture the behaviour in car crashes. READ MORE
