abstract="The INGRID-based model of the Moving Deformable Barrier (MDB) used in DYNA3D simulations of passenger vehicle side impacts, i.e. FMVSS 214-D, was obtained from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The &quot;as received&quot; model was used to verify that the model reproduced the NHTSA provided sample correlation with an MDB experiment, consisting of measured barrier force versus MDB motion for an MDB impacting a rigid barrier at 37 MPH [59.6 KPH]. Although this comparison was satisfactory, during a careful examination of the numerical model a few minor model inconsistencies were discovered and remedied. However, each modeling &quot;fix&quot; produced simulation results that correlated less well with the measured and previous numerical results. A parameter study was conducted to obtain a better understanding of which model parameters affect the computed barrier response. One model parameter, the artificial bulk viscosity of the aluminum honeycomb material, was found to have a dramatic effect on computed barrier force response.   <p>Language: en</p>",
