A simple tensile test model and a split Hopkinson pressure bar model are built to verify the accuracy of the subroutine implemented within the non-linear finite element program LS-DYNA. A numerical model of bird strike on windshield is established to study the responses of windshield under three different bird velocities at three sites. The bird is represented by a cylinder with a hemisphere at each end and the contact-impact coupling algorithm is used in this study. It is found that the implemented subroutine can properly describe the mechanical behavior of polymethyl methaerylate under low and high strain rates and large deformation, and can be used validly.展开更多

The model is analyzed by using an explicit element code LS-DYNA3D for analyzing the nonlinear dynamic response of structures. The data in aspects of displacement, strain, stress and contact force in the process of deformation are obtained. The deformation and failure mechanism of circular arc windshield glass are discussed. The possible location at which failure may take place is given. The valuable data are provided for designing,researching and producing new windshields with high crashworthiness.展开更多

Numerical simulations are conducted, and the rainwater accumulation and flow characteristics over two types of windshields are studied based on the presented model. The results show that an uneven water film is formed over the windshield, with rain water accumulation occurring for the concave windshield but not for the convex windshield. At low speeds, the average fluid-film thickness for a concave windshield is larger than that of a convex windshield;however, a minor difference occurs between these two values at high speeds, and a critical velocity is observed for the two types of windshields. When the train velocity is less than the critical velocity, the fluid film at the lower part of the windshield and the train nose flows downward, and beyond the critical velocity, the fluid film over the entire windshield and train nose flows upward.展开更多

The simulation results show that the whole strike process is performed in 4. 8 ms,the critical strike velocity for an aeronautic glass windshield is 360 km/h,the windshield vibrates and deforms in the collision,and after absorbing the kinetic energy,its temperature increases. The simulation results coincide with the experiment data better. It is clear that MCA method has more advantages than the usual methods of continuum mechanics.展开更多
