Computer Simulation of Impact Interaction with Solid Bodies for Vehicle Security Barriers Development Purpose

Abstract

The research tasks in the field of perspective vehicle security barriers development, their design process optimization and finding of new effective solutions with the use of LS-DYNA software is under consideration. Discussed the computer simulation results of solid deformable body’s impact interaction with vehicle security barrier using final elemental models. Demonstrated the efficiency of complex vehicle finite element dynamic model replacement by rigid body model for the virtual testing in the early stages of vehicle security barriers designing.
