چکیده
The main results of two impact testing campaigns of automotive longitudinal beams in mild steel and aluminium performed by means of the large Hopkinson bar of the Joint Research Centre Ispra site are reported. The need of precision crash tests for the aim of calibration of industrial impact rigs and validation of FE code is discussed. RbsumC Deux campagnes de tests sur des modbles de longerons de voitures en acier et en aluminium sont present&. Les essais ont ete ridids sur la grande barre de Hopkinson du Centre Commun de Recherche d'Ispra. La calibration des moyens d'essais industriels sera discutke ainsi que la validation des codes de calcul.

Application of photon Doppler velocimetry to direct impact Hopkinson pressure bars.
Direct impact Hopkinson pressure bar systems offer many potential advantages over split Hopkinson pressure bars, including access to higher strain rates, higher strains for equivalent striker velocity and system length, lower dispersion, and faster achievement of force equilibrium. Currently, these advantages are gained at the expense of all information about the striker impacted specimen face,...
متن کاملThe Effects of Thin-Walled Structure on Vehicle Occupants’ Safety and Vehicle Crashworthiness
This article investigates the effects of using a thin-walled structure in the chassis front rails in the automotive industry. In frontal accidents, the front rails of the vehicle chassis, increases vehicle crash-worthiness and occupants’ safety by plastic deformation, energy absorption, increasing the crash duration and reducing the load and injuries to the occupants. The objective is to ...

Parametric design optimization of an automotive body crashworthiness improvement is presented. The thicknesses of parts are employed as design variables for optimization whose objective is to increase the maximum deceleration value of the vehicle center of gravity during an impact. Using the Taguchi method, this study analyzes the optimum conditions for design objectives and the impact factors ...
متن کاملImproved specimen recovery in tensile split Hopkinson bar.
This paper presents an improved specimen recovery method for the tensile split Hopkinson bar (TSHB) technique. The method is based on the trapping of residual stress waves with the use of momentum trap bars. As is well known, successful momentum trapping in TSHB is highly sensitive to experimental uncertainties, especially on the incident bar side of the set-up. However, as is demonstrated in t...
متن کاملAdvances in the Hopkinson bar testing of irradiated/non-irradiated nuclear materials and large specimens.
A brief review of the technological advances of the Hopkinson bar technique in tension for the study of irradiated/non-irradiated nuclear materials and the development of this technology for large specimens is presented. Comparisons are made of the dynamic behaviour of non-irradiated and irradiated materials previously subjected to creep, low cycle fatigue and irradiation (2, 10 and 30 displace...
