Title:
VEHICLE CRASH SIMULATOR WITH DYNAMIC MOTION SIMULATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004088270
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A vehicle crash simulator (100) employs a plurality of actuators (120, 180, 200, 210) to simulate motions or forces of a crash event. The vehicle crash simulator includes a simulation platform (102) supporting a test specimen or vehicle (106) for analysis. The platform (102) is accelerated along a crash acceleration trajectory and forces are imparted to the platform to simulate a crash pulse or event. Forces are imparted to the simulation platform (102) by a plurality of actuators "on-board" or coupled to the simulation platform (102) for dynamic motion simulation. Multi-axial forces Fx, Py Fz, are imparted to simulate complex crash motions or forces for realistic crash testing.
