| description | This paper treats the crash analysis and energy absorption response of Rain Forest Vehicle (RFV) subjected to frontal impact scenario namely impacting rigid wall and column. Dynamic computer simulation techniques validated by experimental testing are used to carry out a crash analysis of such vehicle. The study aims at quantifying the energy absorption capability of frontal section of RFV under impact loading, for variations in the load transfer paths and geometry of the crashworthy components. It is evident that the proposed design of the RFV frontal section are desirable as primary impact energy mitigation due to its ability to withstand and absorb impact loads effectively. Furthermore, it is found that the impact energy transmitted to the survival room may feasibly be minimized in these two impact events. The primary outcome of this study is design recommendation for enhancing the level of safety of the off-road vehicle where impact loading is expected |
