HTTP:: New Crash Test Simulation Method Available
--------
Crash tests are the ultimate tests to assess a vehicle's safety, but they are only the last to be run before a vehicle is approved for production. Oftentimes, the results of these tests are considerably different from the initial predictions, which are mostly run on computers. Now, experts from the Fraunhofer Institute have developed a new simulation process that is more accurate and conclusive with the final tests than ever before, AlphaGalileo reports. The main focus of the research is the “B Pillar,” the structure that connects the floor and the roof of a vehicle. If a car, for instance, tumbles over, it's the job of this pillar to prevent the roof from deforming too much and crushing the passengers. There are specific demands from this structure â€" it has to be both lightweight, so as to minimize fuel consumption, but also remarkably strong, as only to deteriorate a little upon impact. Over the years, scientists and auto companies have been nearing this perfect m!
aterial, and the new FI research provides even further momentum. “We are well aware of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials in their original state. If you're going to fit these kinds of parts into vehicles, you need to take into account their deformation history during manufacture. With our failur...
