...Atsutaka Tamura; Junji Hasegawa; Takao Koide A series of pedestrian sideswipe impacts were computationally reconstructed; a fast-walking pedestrian was collided laterally with the side of a moving vehicle at 25 km/h or 40 km/h, which resulted in rotating the pedestrian's body axially. Potential...

.... The results are then compared with crash test and real world rollover results for the same latch. The results indicate that a door latch that meets the secondary latch position requirements may fail at loads substantially below the FMVSS 206 uniaxial failure loads. In the side impact mode, risks associated...

... optimization (RDO) scheme has been developed for designing crashworthiness of vehicle against side impact. Within this framework, differential evolution algorithm (DEA) has been coupled with polynomial correlated function expansion (PCFE). An adaptive framework for determining the optimum basis order in PCFE...

...D. Yurchenko; A. Burlon; M. Di Paola; G. Failla; A. Pirrotta The paper deals with the stochastic dynamics of a vibroimpact single-degree-of-freedom system under a Gaussian white noise. The system is assumed to have a hard type impact against a one-sided motionless barrier, located at the system's...

...X. Liu; E. Ferrario; E. Zio To investigate the resilience of interconnected critical infrastructures (CIs), a framework combining dynamic modeling and resilience analysis is proposed. Resilience is defined in this work as the capacity of a system to absorb the impacts of perturbations and recover...

... impact. A three-dimensional (3D) stochastic finite-element analysis of laminated composite plates under impact is performed to determine the probability of failure (Pf). The objective is to achieve the safest design of lightweight composite through the most efficient ply arrangement of S2 glass epoxy...
