Abstract

Since the sides of a vehicle are designed asymmetrically unlike its front or rear, the degree of deformation of the car body greatly differs depending on the site of collision if a broadside collision takes place. When elastic deformation and plastic deformation occur in the car body occur due to a collision, the kinetic energy is absorbed into the body, and the momentum decreases. Generally, an analysis of traffic accidents analyzes the vehicle's behavior after a collision by the law of momentum conservation and corrects the error of the amount of energy absorption due to the deformation of the car body, applying a restitution coefficient. This study interpreted a finite element vehicle model applying the structure of the car body and the material properties of each part with LS-DYNA, analyzed the result and drew the restitution coefficient and the depth of penetration according to the contact area of the vehicle in a broadside collision between an SUV and a passenger car. When the finally calculated restitution coefficient and depth of penetration were applied to the examples of the actual traffic accidents, there was an effect on the improvement of the error in the result. It was found that when the initial input value, drawn using the finite element analysis model, it had a higher reliability of the interpretation than that of the existing analysis techniques.

차량의 측면은 전면이나 후면과 다르게 비대칭으로 설계되어있기 때문에 측면충돌이 일어나는 경우 충돌부위에 따라 차체의 변형정도가 크게 달라진다. 충돌로 인하여 차체에 탄성 및 소성 변형이 일어날 때 운동에너지가 차체로 흡수되어 운동량이 감소하게 된다. 일반적으로 교통사고분석은 충돌 후 차량의 거동을 운동량 보존법칙으로 분석하며 차체의 변형에 따른 에너지 흡수량은 반발계수를 적용해 그 오차를 보정한다. 본 연구에서는 차체의 구조와 각 부품의 재료특성을 적용한 유한요소 차량모델을 LS-DYNA로 해석하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 SUV와 승용차의 측면충돌에서 차량의 접촉부위에 따른 반발계수와 충돌감지시간을 도출하였다. 최종적으로 산출된 반발계수와 충돌감지시간을 실제 교통사고 사례에 적용하였을 때 결과오차의 개선효과를 얻었다. 유한요소해석 모델을 이용하여 도출한 초기 입력값을 적용했을 때 기존의 분석기법보다 해석의 신뢰도가 높다는 결과를 얻게 되었다.
