Objective
Crashworthiness insures the structural integrity of vehicles and their ability to absorb crash energy with minimal diminution of survivable space. Restraint systems limit occupant motion, mitigating injuries that may result from contact with vehicle's interior during sudden acceleration. The interest of crashworthiness analysis of vehicles and equipment has increased greatly in recent years. The evaluation of the highly complex nonlinear response of vehicle structures, including the assessment of the energy absorbing mechanisms, has become a dominating feature of this area. The need for accurate and efficient tools of analysis has driven many research groups in the challenging problem of modelling such complex structural systems. A variety of tools of increasing complexity, from simplified 1D and 2D models embedding analytical solutions or experimental results to sophisticated finite element procedures, which still require large and expensive computer resources, have been used for the purpose.
Both structural crashworthiness and occupant protection technologies are multidisciplinary and highly specialized, including complex technical fields ranging from the areas of mechanics to the biological sciences. The school will present a comprehensive survey of the structural and biomechanical issues involved in occupant protection.
