Description:
In accident analysis, vehicle crash mechanics and vehicle safety research modeling of the deformational force and absorbed energy plays a crucial role. The usually applied FEM based methods give good approximations, but they have extremely large computational complexity and require a detailed knowledge about the parameteres of the crash and the vehicle. There are simpler models, but they not give satisfactory approximation. In this paper using the LPV-HOSVD paradigm we introduce a model for vehicle deformation process, which well approximates the deformation force and the absorbed energy, moreover it has acceptable computational complexity.
