show that the
following relationships are true.

Transcribed Image Text:Recall that Fmax is the magnitude of the crush force acting on both vehicles at maximum
deformation (see Figure 3). Then, the total crush energy absorbed by the structures of the two
vehidles is given by Wr in Equation (17).
Fmax = k1X71 = kax7a
(16)
W, = kx,/2 + kı2X,/2 = FmaxXT1/2 + Fmaz*r2/2
(17)
Wr1 = FmaxXr1/2
. Wrz = Fmas*rz/2
(18)
Wri and Wrz are the total crush energies absorbed by vehicles 1 and 2 respectively.
Equation (17) can be written as,
W, = Fmax /(2ka) + Fmar /(2k12) = Fimar /(2keqı)
(18a)
where kegl = kukı2/(kLı + k12) is the equivalent loading stiffness of the system.
The common velocity V. = Vi can be determined by applying conservation of momentum principle
to the two-vehicle system since the net force acting on this system is zero. Then.
m,V, + m2V½ = (m, + m2)V,
(19)
Since the structures of the two vehicles do not undergo perfectly plastic deformation, part of the
energy absorbed is transformed into kinetic energy due to spring-back effect in the unloading
phase. A similar work-energy analysis can be made for the unloading phase and it can be shown
that the crush energy retumed as kinetic energy in the unloading phase is given by Wa in
Equations (20) and (21).
Wa1 = ku, (Xr1 - Xp1)*/2 = Fmaz (Xr1 – Xp1)/2
WR2 = kuz (Xr2 -Xp2)/2 = Fmar(Xrz - Xp2)/2
WR = WR1 + WR2
We = kui (X71 – Xp1)*/2 + kuz(X72 – Xpa)* /2
(20)
- m, (V;)*/2 + m,(V£D* /2 - (m, + m2)V? /2

(21)
Wan is the area under the unloading line with the slope ku1- Waz is the area under the unloading
line with the slope kyz. The energy lost in the collision is equal to the difference between the initial
and final kinetic energies of the system and it is given by W, in Equation (22).
Wi = m,vi/2 + m2vš/2 - m: (vi)* /2 – m2 (v^)° /2
(22)
Using Equations (15). (17). (21) and (22), it can easily be shown that
W, - WL = WR
