Determination of the Value of the Energy Equivalent Speed Parameter According to the Residual Deformations of the Finite Element Model

Abstract

The work shall analyse the impact of the car body structure on passive safety. The methods for determining the Energy Equivalent Speed (EES) parameter and its relationship with the assessment of the impact velocity shall also be reviewed. Computer simulation of the LS DYNA programme according to the given conditions and calculations of the CRASH 3 software according to the resulting residual deformations shall be carried out to determine the values of the EES parameter. Simulations and calculations are performed using a speed of 50 km/h and a collision with 100% and 50% car body overlap.
