Computational Simulation and Test Study of an Extendable and  Retractable Automobile Crash Energy Absorbing Device

The operation principle of an extendable and retractable crash energy absorbing device was introduced. A sample of the device was designed and manufactured according to a production SUV’s frontal structure. It had been installed in the SUV, and its control system had also been developed. Finite element model was developed to study the frontal impact performance of the device. Meanwhile, low and high velocity sled impact tests were used to study the device’s performance in its extended status and retracted status respectively. The simulation and test results show that the device can effectively increase the SUV’s crush space and improve the energy-absorption performance during the impact when the device is extended, and better protection effect can be achieved for the occupant. When the device is retracted, no bad influence will bring to the SUV.
