Based on Aluminum Honeycomb technology, the MDB-R95 barrier (EEVC WG13) is used by car manufacturers and test laboratories worldwide for the assessment of motor vehicle passenger protection in side impact collisions.
The side-impact test consists in a 950 kg trolley impact on the driver’s side of the test vehicle. The trolley is equipped with MDB-R95 barrier, which aims at simulating the front of the impacting vehicle. The impact speed is defined according to the test specifications. ATD’s dummies are used to evaluate the injuries in this type of crash.
The MDB-EEVC-R95 barrier is certified for occupant protections:
The MDB-EEVC-R95 barrier is certified for NCAP tests:
The side barrier consists of 6 joined zones with total quantity of kinetic energy to be absorbed by the frontal barrier is between 42 and 48 kJ (EEVC-R95 amendment 3)
The MDB-EEVC-R95 barrier is certified for NCAP tests:
Back Plate:
Adhesive:
A complete testing procedure for certification of aluminum honeycomb is performed in-house according to EEVCC-R95 Amendment 3. The aluminum honeycomb blocks are processed such that the force deflection-curve when statically crushed is within the corridors defined for each of the six blocks.
The AXAC MDB-R95 Advanced 2000 side impact deformable barrier are manufactured according to EEVC WG13’s recommandation from Nov. 2001 in compliance with ECE R95 Amendment 3 and 96/27/EC
