IIHS Side Impact Moving Deformable Barrier V1

MDB-IIHS V1

Share:

Based on Aluminum Honeycomb technology, the MDB-IIHS V1 barrier (Side Impact Moving Deformable Barrier – IIHS Oct. 2007) is providing a precision measurement tool to ensure repetitive and correlative results under similar test conditions and to reflect adequately the protective performance of a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment with respect to human occupants.

The side-impact test consists of a stationary test vehicle struck on the driver side by a crash cart fitted with an IIHS deformable barrier element. The 1,500 kg moving deformable barrier (MDB) has an impact velocity of 50 km/h (31.1 mi/h) and strikes the vehicle on the driver side at a 90-degree angle.

Technical Properties

The MDB-IIHS V1 barrier consists of two parts: a main honeycomb block and a bumper consisting of three honeycomb elements. Both honeycomb layers are covered with aluminum sheets and adhesively bonded to each other.

Main Honeycomb Block Material – Aluminum 5052- cell size 9.5 mm
Crush strength of 310 kPa ± 17 kPa

Bumper Element Honeycomb Material – Aluminum 3003- cell size 6.35 mm
Crush strength of 1690 kPa ± 103 kPa

Main Honeycomb Base Plate – aluminum 5251 H22 or 5052 H34
H860 mm x W1676 mm x T1.0 mm

Main Honeycomb Top Cladding – Aluminum 5251 H24 or 5052 H34
T0.7 mm
Cut and bent to attain a folded shape that matches the top and front surfaces of the main honeycomb block

Main Honeycomb Upper Corner Plate – Aluminum 5251 H24 or 5052 H34
T1.6 mm
Cut and bent to attain the contoured shape

Bumper Element Base Plate – Aluminum 5251 H22 or 5052 H34
H203 mm x T3.0 mm
Bent to match the final shape of the front surface of the main honeycomb cladding sheet

Bumper Element Profile Sheet – Aluminum 5251 H22 or 5052 H34
H159 mm x T3.0 mm

Adhesive
Two-part Polyurethane

A complete testing procedure for certification of aluminum honeycomb is performed in-house according to IIHS Side Impact Crashworthiness Evaluation, Moving Deformable Barrier Specification from October 2007 and in accordance with the procedure defined in NHTSA TP-214D. The aluminum honeycomb blocks are processed such that the force deflection-curve when statically crushed is within the corridors defined for each of the 2 blocks.
