      <title>PREDICTING CRUSH RESPONSE OF AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/217570</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An analytical technique is presented which provides the capability to predict the crush response of certain automotive structural components.  The technique was coded from the finite difference formulation to solve the highly nonlinear equations of motion of the structural components when subjected to large deformation.  It features a capability in predicting the peak load and its subsequent force-deflection response, even for quasi-static crush in the degenerate "slow dynamics" case. Operational for production usage, CRUSH has extensive user convenience such as interactive computer graphics in model generation, model editing, and output display.  In addition, CRUSH saves time in data preparation and computer result interpretation.  It possesses acceptable accuracy for engineering applications to predict the crush response of certain automotive structural components, and, in conjunction with the barrier impact simulation programs CRUSH is highly effective in the design of these components in a shorter time and with less weight. Four problems solved by use of the program are reported.]]></description>
