How to calculate Energy absobed by the components of a Truck Cab after crash test??
Hi,
I have a question regarding the calculation of internal energy of components after collision.
In conducting the frontal impact test as per the ECE R29 regulation, a swing bob has to hit the front of the cab fixed to chassis with some force, and after that we have to calculate the energy absorbed by the components of the components of the cab. can anyone please help me out in solving this problem?? details of the above problem as follows..
weight of the swing bob = 1500 kg
dimension of the swing bob = length 2500 mm, height 800 mm, centre of gravity of swing bob should coincide with lateral axis of the CAB.
Distance from geometric centre of bob to the point of suspension = 3500 mm
impact energy given to the bob = 40 KJ
coefficient of static friction = 0.2
coefficient of dynamic friction = 0.2
as of my knowledge
Total energy = Kinetic Energy + Internal Energy(absorption energy)
as the friction energy is very small we can neglect that.
Total weight of the truck cab = 1 ton
Thank you...
