  • Improving road safety with LS-DYNA [Elektronski vir]
    Vesenjak, Matej ; Ren, Zoran
    The paper describes computational analysis and experimental crash tests of the new road safety barrier. The purpose of this reasearch was to build and evaluate a full-scale computational model of the ... safety road barrier for use in crash simulations and to further compare the computational results with real crash test data. The impact severity and stiffness of the new design have been evaluated with the dynamic nonlinear elasto-plastic analysis of the 3D road safety barrier within the FEM with the LS-DYNA code. The comparison of experimental and computational results proved the correctness of the computational model. The tests have also shown that the new safety barrier assures controllable crash energy absorption which in turn increases the safety of passengers.
