Comparison of Crash Test and Simulation Results for Impact of Silverado Pickup into New Jersey Barrier under Manual for assessing Safety Hardware

The National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) at the George Washington University simulated the crash of a 2,270-kg Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck into a standard 32-in. New Jersey shape concrete barrier under the requirements of Test 3–11 of the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). The new, detailed finite element (FE) model for the Chevrolet Silverado was used as the surrogate for the MASH 2270P test vehicle. An FE model of the New Jersey barrier was drawn from the array of NCAC hardware models. The primary objective of this analysis was to simulate the crash test conducted to evaluate how this commonly used, NCHRP 350–approved device would perform under the more rigorous MASH crashworthiness criteria. A secondary objective was to use newly developed verification and validation (V&V) procedures to compare the results of the detailed simulation with the results of crash tests undertaken as part of another project. The crash simulation was successfully executed with the detailed Silverado FE model and NCAC models of the New Jersey concrete barrier. Traditional comparisons of the simulation results and the data derived from the crash test suggested that the modeling provided viable results. Further comparisons employing the V&V procedures provided a structured assessment across multiple factors reflected in the phenomena importance ranking table. Statistical measures of the accuracy of the test in comparison with simulation results provided a more robust validation than previous approaches. These comparisons further confirmed that the model was able to replicate impacts with a 2270P vehicle, as required by MASH.
