Finite element modeling of a moving deformable barrier for fuel system performance simulations

摘要

An improved moving deformable barrier (MDB) model was developed for simulation of fuel system performance tests. This MDB model was designed to replace a bullet vehicle model for the vehicle-to-vehicle impact simulations where a bullet for the vehicle-to-vehicle impact simulations where a bullet vehicle impacts a target vehicle at 50 mph. This study included three crash modes, rear-inline, rear-50
