Development of Crash Cushion by Computer Simulation

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 충격흡수시설의 개발

The development of crash cushions is finally completed by full-scale vehicle crash tests. Since the current development of crash cushions is achieved by numerous repeated full-scale vehicle crash tests based on empirical and irrational methods, it requires a great amount of costs. In this research, the more rational procedure based on prototype design by static tests and computer simulation is suggested and it can minimize the number of full-scale vehicle crash tests.
