Parameters Optimization of PVB Laminated Glass Based on Pedestrian Head Protection

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to research the influence of the parameters of laminated windshield glass to pedestrian head injuries in vehicle-pedestrian accident, the adaptive response surface method (RSM) was utilized to optimize the key parameters of the laminated glass i.e. the elastic modulus, yield strength, density and the glass thickness, in which the pedestrian head injury criteria (HIC) and glass crack radius were setting as the objective function. A set of glass parameters was obtained which was the most beneficial to the pedestrian protection. The optimization may provide theory basis for the design and research of PVB laminated windshield.
