Abstract
This study dealt with dynamic characteristics by real car crash simulation of composite support structures for road facilities. The effects of different material properties of composites for various car crash speeds are studied using the LS-DYNA finite element program for this study. In this study, the existing finite element analysis of steel support structures using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study dynamic behaviors of the support structures made of various composite materials. Based on the passenger safety assessment, the numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different models with internal energy occurred in the support and car.
