SECTION 1.0 PURPOSE AND TEST SUMMARY

The purpose of the three 270° contoured moving barrier impact tests was for research and development in support of the CRASH III damage algorithm reformulation.

The 1983 Ford Tempo was equipped with a 2.3 liter, 4-cylinder, transverse, gas engine with a 5-speed manual transmission. The intended total test weight of the vehicle was 2367 pounds. The actual weight was

2367 pounds.

The contoured moving barrier actual weight was 2673 pounds, frontal width was 62.5 inches, hood height was 30.0 inches, bumper width was 6.0 inches and centerline bumper height to ground was 17.0 inches. The contoured moving barrier was intended to impact the driver's side of the vehicle at 270°. The leading edge of the contact was to be 28.8 inches forward of the vehicle's center of gravity.

The crash event was recorded by three (3) high-speed cameras.

1-1 ..

DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENTS

= major (bumper height) Cl, C 2 , C3 , C4 , C5 , C6 crush at 6 points for penetration

= for stiffer member (sill height) SI, S 2 , S3, S4 , S5 , S6 crush at 6 points penetration

F = free space distance, measured on the undeformed side of the car, between the surface at major penetration (bumper height) and minor penetration (sill height) locations.

XI, X2 = distances between points Cl and C6, repectively and the vertical plane passing through points at the extreme ends of the car which lay in the plane of the car side before deformation.

B1 = the offset of the trunk centerline from the original body center line.

B2 = the offset of the hood centerline from the original body center line.

If a door hinge or latch or pillar did not fail then:

Average crush = Bumper height crush + XI + X2

If a door hinge or latch or pillar did fail then:

Average crush = Bumper height crush sill height crush as corrected + XI X2

2 2

Sill height crush as corrected = sill height crush as measured - free space.

2-3 TEST ANOMALIES

Noise in the form of spikes was observed in the plots for the contact switch OTH 2 vehicle contact switch, rear. The switch was used to record the time of vehicle contact with the moving barrier, as well as the time of vehicle separation from the barrier. The switch was damaged by the crush of the moving contoured barrier against the vehicle. The switch was replaced following each test which contained spikes. This is not the standard use of such switches.
