Analysis of the Deformation State of Different Forms of Guardrails

Abstract:

Guardrails,consisting of metal post of the profile Σ and a protective beam of the profile W are commonly used .In order to guide the choice of the form of motor vehicle road guardrails, the article used finite element software ANSYS to calculate six kinds of guardrails on static analysis. The guardrails were made of of two forms of beam and three types of post. The result showed that the guardrail composed by MS-A and MST-2 had the biggest transverse deformation ,the value was 7.21 cm. The conclusion can be drawn that the guardrail composed by MS-A and MST-2 has the better ability about deformation and energy absorption, which will be the optimal choice for the road guardrail .
