DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ROAD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS USING CAD/CAE INSTRUMENTS
The objective of this paper is to provide theoretical foundations for a
modern approach to design and execution of Road Restraint Systems using
CAD / CAE technology. The global stiffness of the road restraint system is
largely attributed to the design of the distance spacer in the initial phase of an
impact. How to make virtual modelling is based on using Solid Works software,
finite element analysis software using Hyper Mesh RADIOSS extension and
rapid prototyping for fast implementation of Road Restraint Systems
components. The paper present a new damper used to absorb the energy
produced during impact.
