Titre : Automobile crash simulation method theoretical and numerical approach Auteurs : Abdelilah Elbazze, Bouchaïb Radi, Revue : Uncertainties and Reliability of Multiphysical Systems Numéro : Issue 2 Volume : 5 Date : 2022/01/25 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2022.0788 ISSN : 2514-569X Résumé : The work that has been done in this paper is to describe the method used in crash simulation that is suitable in the ground transportation industry. The work was spread over three related phases; a theoretical approach which explains the method and the analytical equations to represent these crash phenomena based on the principle of virtual work. A numerical approach which explains the method of integration used in the codes of calculation to solve the analytical equation detailed in the first step, By basing on the method of the FE and the temporal integration with explicit schema for a better representativeness of this type of phenomenon. The last part focuses on a digital crash study case by detailing all the verification phases in order to guarantee the quality and the numerical credibility of the model which makes it possible to analyze the shock scenario and the objectives to be achieved.
