Abstract

The safety of the vehicle occupants in car-to-truck rear-end collisions is directly related to the crashworthiness of the car body. This paper mainly studied the effect of sensitive parameter named offset rate on car structural crashworthiness in rear-end accident. In order to provide a reference on the promotion of car crashworthiness and improvement of truck's underride guard, this paper analyzed the load path and deformation process of rear-end collisions by simulation method, and mainly focused on the changes of car acceleration, intrusion volume and invasive procedure under different offset rate.
