Crashworthiness evaluation

Crash tests and numerical simulation can propose suitable materials, shapes of parts and joining conditions for advanced high-strength steels in order to develop light-weight body structure with high crash performance.

High speed testing machine

Crash experiments with seeds from 0.1m/s to 14m/s can be carried out by controlling hydro-actuators to evaluate the crash performance of small hat-section samples and actual body parts.

Specification

  • Crash speed: 0.1m/sec~14m/sec(50km/h)
  • Stroke : 0~150mm
  • Maximum load: 50Ton
  • Temperature : -60℃ - room temperature
High speed testing machine
Example of three-point bending test
Example of axial crash test

The crash performance can be analyzed by using the high speed cameras and force-stroke curve data.
