VEHICLE FRONTAL CRASH OCCUPANT SAFETY AND CAE
“The course and the instructor were magnificent. Absolutely indispensable training for any accident reconstructionist wanting an understanding of vehicle safety systems.” Sal Fariello Accident Reconstructionist Eastern Forensic Science Group
This seminar covers the mechanics of frontal crashes and how vehicle structures, vehicle restraint systems, and vehicle interiors affect occupant safety. It also describes details of how CAE tools work in the simulation of frontal crashes. The goal of the course is to familiarize participants with engineering principles behind vehicle and restraint designs for occupant safety. Accident crash statistics, biomechanics, government regulations and public domain frontal safety tests will be reviewed briefly. You are also be exposed to Madymo, one of the major occupant CAE tools. The class also offers you opportunities to do hands-on computer analysis as well as simplified hands-on crash tests, where students can learn first-hand how vehicle pulses and restraint design affect occupant response. • Explain frontal crashes and how vehicle structure and restraint systems affect occupant responses • Describe how restraint components function in crashes and protect occupants • Carry out calculations of injury metrics using test or CAE results as input • Describe the occupant CAE tool, Madymo, and how it works • Explain assumptions and limitations of CAE models • Evaluate the relative effect of crash pulse, and restraint system characteristics • Analyze and evaluate crash pulses • Describe FMVSS 208 and NCAP requirements and metrics • Explain the use of different dummies and their limitations WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is designed for engineers in the fields of automotive safety or accident reconstruction who wish to learn the characteristics of vehicle frontal crashes and their effects on occupant response and safety. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
