Title: SIMULATION OF A VEHICLE IMPACTING A MODIFIED THRIE-BEAM GUARDRAIL
Accession Number: 00743625
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A three-dimensional finite-element simulation study, developed for the purpose of modeling the event of a compact automobile impacting a modified thrie-beam guardrail, is presented. The developed computational model has been used to simulate an actual field test that was previously conducted as part of a full-scale crash test program carried out under the auspices of FHWA. Results of the actual crash test are also used to "tune" the simulation model.
