OPTIMISATION AND ROBUSTNESS OF SIDE AIRBAG DESIGN AND ANALYSIS
In order to yield significant added value, computer model need to reach to a level of reliability that enables decisions, which are only based on simulation results. Airbag deployment is highly non linear and non reproducible. Scatter in all system properties and boundary conditions also cause scatter in the performance of the system. The aim of this paper is to use stochastic simulation approach to include this natural scatter into the computer models. This allows evaluation of the performance scatter and thus an assessment of reliability and quality of the simulated system. Stochastic simulation can be used for system improvement, which offers a further application tool for system optimisation. The problem is not to find optimum solution in a mathematical sense, but to develop sufficiently good and especially robust solutions for real world situations. In this paper stochastic approach will be introduced and applied to the side airbag deployment.
