Characteristic damage of Vehicles at Low Speed Collision
Lexová, Kristýna ; Kaluža, Zdeněk (referee) ; Tokař, Stanislav (advisor)
This thesis deals with documentation and analysis of the most common types of vehicle damage caused by collisions with fixed objects at low speeds. The characteristic damage analysis is based on performing custom crash tests using objects that are different in shape and material. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the comparison of performed crash tests with vehicle damage typical for collisions of two vehicles in so-called parking maneuvres. The analysis is then applied in the assessment of real traffic accidents, which were identified as insurance frauds during the investigation. The work can be further used as a basis for comparative databases.

Car Door Handle FEM Model Creation and Validation for Crash Simulations
Raffai, Peter ; Korouš, Jan (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this master’s thesis was to create a component model of a door handle stiffener used by the Volkswagen concern, which can be used for crash computations. Also to tune its parameters the way, its behavior corresponds the most to the real part’s. In the theoretical part the current regulations of the Euro NCAP are presented, concerning the testing and evaluation of the passive safety of new vehicles. Attention is focused on the evaluation of the side impact barrier tests, where the effect of the door handle stiffener’s damage is reflected the most. Shown are the reasons for the effort to simulate the real behavior of the stiffener, the factors, which initialized the born of the studied problem. The practical part starts with the creation of the FEM mesh of the part based on its 3D CAD model, also describes the requirements for the mesh quality, as well as the used tools and methods. Further on investigated are the characters of real damages of the door handle area during side impacts, based on which the component tests are proposed for the validation of the simulation model. Experimental research consists of the stiffener’s testing for simple bend and twist loads, three specimens each. After the execution of the tests the results get compared with the corresponding simulations. Modifications are made on the model according to the acquired results: refinement of the FEM mesh, new material model usage with failure for shell elements and definition of real material characteristics for the used thermoplastics. The latest obtained simulation dependencies are compared with the measured values again, the results are evaluated at last.

Design of rear bumper for passenger car
Tomeš, Jan ; Strecker, Zbyněk (referee) ; Klapka, Milan (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis deals with search about passenger car bumpers. It focuses especially on RCAR crash tests and currently used constructions of bumpers. There is suggested concept of rear bumper based on findings from the search. The concept was modeled on design study of Swell Company’s car.

Test dummy validation - differences in human mechanical response
Literová, Lucie ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Validation of the test dummy - differences in human mechanical response Objectives: The main goal of this thesis was to verify the usability of the Dummy Hybrid III for crash tests in the transport industry (the front and side directions). Methods: In the presented thesis, experimental methods were used to achieve the goal. The measurement of small impacts in laboratory conditions was carried out using the pendulum of the Department of Anatomy and Biomechanics of the UK FTVS. The measurement was performed on humans as well as on the Dummy Hybrid III. We monitored the reactions in the thoracic spine (thoracic vertebra Th5) and on the top of the head after impacts by a pendulum on certain areas on the human body/dummy. Impacts were delivered in four different intensities to the forehead, temporal bone, chest, shoulder and thigh. The measured impact quantity was the impact velocity. The observed magnitude of the response on the human body and dummy was the magnitude of the resulting acceleration in the area of the Th5 thoracic vertebra and the top of the head. Results: The results of this work have expanded the knowledge in the field of crash tests in the transport industry. Thanks to the obtained results, there was verified the suitability of the laboratory model of the pendulum for further...

Usage of cdr systém for traffic accident analysis
Kasanický, Gustáv ; Vertaľ, Peter
Currently underway in Europe legislative and technical preparation, which aims to establish clear rules and requirements for OEM companies. It means, what data should be store in airbag unit, how long and what frequency has to be used for data acquisition. The aim is to prepare clear rules for producers, which should enter into force in 2018. Institute of Forensic Engineering of University of Žilina is one of the pathfinder institution in the Europe, which is actively involved in the introduction of CDR-system in the Eastern Europe and in the countries that use the Slavic languages. It was necessary to verify and demonstrate system functionality in the European conditions. The USI ZU carried out two vehicle crash tests with car from European distribution. The tests are demonstrating the functionality of the CDR-system. The knowledge from tests is going to be used for experts training.
