Abstract and keywords

[ISO13232] specifies four configurations of motorcycle-car side impact tests. In this study a Kawasaki GPZ motorcycle and Toyota Corolla were used to conduct crash tests according to ISO specifications at the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI). Finite element models of the motorcycle and car were developed in PAM/CRASH™ based on CMM measurement and component test data. In this paper we present the results of the simulation of four ISO standard crash configurations. The kinematics in these simulations is compared with those in the experiments.

Keywords: component tests; Hybrid III; dummies; side impact; ISO; kinematics; PAMCRASH™
