Improved Multibody Dynamics for Investigating Energy Dissipation in Train Collisions Based on Scaling Laws

This study aimed to investigate energy dissipation in train collisions. A 1/8 scaled train model, about one-dimensional in longitudinal direction, was used to carry out a scaled train collision test. Corresponding multibody dynamic simulations were conducted using traditional and improved method mod...
