Samenvatting
International Standards Organization (ISO) 13232 specifies four configurations of motorcycle-car side impact tests. In this study, a Kawasaki GPZ motorcycle and Toyota Corolla were used to conduct crash tests according to ISO specifications at the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI). Finite Element Models (FEMs) of the motorcycle and car were developed in PAM-CRASH TM based on Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) measurement and component test data. In this paper, the authors present the results of the simulation of four ISO standard crash configurations. The kinematics in these simulations is compared with those in the experiments. (A)
