GNS MPDB

Model Description

Type: Moving Progressive Deformable Barrier (MPDB)
Crash test: 50 % Overlap Frontal Impact 

The specifications of the “Euro NCAP Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier Face Specification” Draft Version 1.2 November 2018 TB 022, served as the basis for the development of this barrier model.

The MPDB shell model effectively implements the latest developments of LS-DYNA codes and provides users with a stable and targeted analysis.

  • According to tests conducted by CATARC, the GNS MPDB model has higher accuracy and more stable performance than similar products.
  • Numerous dynamic tests in both the component area and with full barriers allow for consistent and finer calibration. This goes beyond the regulated barrier control process.
  • Simulations are compared with the results of real tests and evaluated.

BASIC FEATURES

  • Adjusted block stiffness according specification
  • ­Trolley with pressure air wheels, getting model motion closer to reality
  • ­Mass = 1400kg with given center of gravity

VALIDATION

The test results on four different impact conditions–the car fitted with a barrier hits a quarter-wall, a vertical, a rounded and a tubular impactor (specified byEuroNCAP)–form the basis for fine tuning the LS-DYNA model. In addition to comparing the deflection curves (generated from analyses and tests), material tests were performed to create the material models for the distinct parts of the barrier.
