Multi-body dynamics modelling and simulation analysis for Australian rolling stock crashworthiness

Last updated on 27 November 2013 8:36

A three-dimensional non-linear multi-body dynamics model has been developed for the investigation of the crashworthiness of a "typical" Australian passenger train. The applications of crushable plastic elements in the model refer to the Crash Energy Management (CEM) system, consisting of high energy (HE) and low energy (LE) crush zones of...
