Comments

  1. surf_IDex must be defined using segments associated with 4-nodes or 3-nodes shell elements (possibly void elements), and not with /SURF/SEG.
  2. The volume must be closed and the normals must be oriented outwards.
  3. By default, I_equi =0 assumes that the volume to be filled by the gas will not increase. If the volume increases, the Pext pressure will not be reached. If the volume increases when inflated, use I_equi =1 or 2 and define the initial temperature and initial gas density.
  4. Abscissa scale factors are used to transform abscissa units in airbag functions, for example:(1)
    F ( t ) = f t ( t Ascale t )
    where, t is the time and f t is the function of fct_IDt.(2)
    F ( P ) = f P ( P Ascale P )

    Where, P MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbbG8FasPYRqj0=yi0dXdbba9pGe9xq=JbbG8A8frFve9 Fve9Ff0dmeaabaqaciGacaGaaeqabaWaaeaaeaaakeaacaWGqbaaaa@3733@ is the pressure and f P is the function of fct_IDP.

  5. When Pmax is reached, the pressure is reset to external pressure and venting has no effect.
  6. Vent hole membrane is deflated if T > Tvent or if the pressure exceeds Pdef while more than Δ t P d e f .
  7. vent_holes_surface = A vent A f A ( A A 0 ) f P ( P P ext )
    Where,
    A
    Area of surface surf_IDv
    A0
    initial Area of surface surf_IDv
    f A
    Function of fct_IDA
    f P
    Function of fct_IDP

    Functions f P = fct_IDP are assumed to be equal to 1, if they are not specified (null identifier).

    Function f A fct_IDA is assumed as: f A ( A A 0 ) = 1 if it is not specified.

  8. If surf_IDv0 (surf_IDv is defined) the vent hole area is computed as:

    vent_holes_area = A vent A f A ( A A 0 ) f t ( t ) f P ( P P ext )

    If surf_IDv = 0 (surf_IDv is not defined).

    vent_holes_area = A vent f t ( t ) f P ( P P ext )

    Where,
    A
    Area of surface surf_IDv
    f A
    Function of fct_IDA
    f t
    Function of fct_IDt
    f P
    Function of fct_IDP

    Functions f t = fct_IDt and f P = fct_IDP are assumed to be equal to 1, if they are not specified (null identifier).

    Function f A = fct_IDA is assumed as:

    f A ( A ) = A if it is not specified.

  9. For tire modeling, pressure in the tire is:(3)
    P t i r e = P i n i P e x t

    So, Pext and Pini have to be defined.

  10. Pressure will be applied linearly from Pext at time t=0 to Pini at time t=Trelax.
