Distribution Characteristic of Automobile Lamp Fragments in Front Crash
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007
Abstract
In order to analyze distribution characteristic of automotive lamp fragments, and the relation between thrown distance and the crash velocity in front crash, a device for simulating automotive crash is designed. Distribution rule of automotive lamp fragments is analyzed by simulating crash with a car in different velocity. The results show that if the vehicle runs forward before the collision, the fragments will distribute symmetrically relative to the running direction within the range of ±20°. The farthest, the nearest and the center of the fragments in the fields vary corresponding to crash velocity, and the bandwidth between (he farthest and the nearest thrown distance is in the different range. Based on the statistic data of crash velocity and the thrown distance of lamp fragments, mathematical models are established and validated.
