Synopsis

A statistical modelling method for simulating the fracture behaviour of acrylic glass is presented using the application case of an automotive rear side window. The collection of the necessary measurement data and their analysis is described. The aim is to give guidance to users of comparable materials. Finally, the model is integrated into the finite element simulation of a head impact test of the pane. Based on the resulting spread of the head injury criterion, the relevance of a statistical material characterisation for product safety is discussed.

From the Back Cover

In this work, a methodology is proposed to statistically model the fracture behavior of acrylic glasses for numerical simulation. The aim is to give guidance to users of comparable materials. In detail, the collection of necessary measurement data and their analysis is presented. By applying the model, a stochastic finite-element simulation is performed for a head impact onto an automotive rear-side window made from acrylic glass. Based on the wide spread of the resulting head injury criteria, the relevance of a statistical material characterization for product safety is discussed.
