CHAPTER 22 421 Multi-compartment Side Curtain Airbag Deployment

Introduction .The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the simulation of a multi-compartment airbag; a capability is introduced in MD Nastran SOL 700 (SOL 700). AIRBAG, GRIA, and EOSGAM are added in Bulk Data entries to support the capability.

Requested Solutions The airbag has five compartments. These compartments are folded, and each compartment is connected to the gas supply bag through a large hole. An inflator is modeled next to the gas supply bag. The gas jet is initiated from the inflator and running into the gas supply bag. Fixed boundary conditions are applied to the brackets attached to the gas supply bag. The simulation time is 0.04 seconds.

FEM Solution The units of this model are kg for weight, meter for length, second for time, and Kelvin for temperature. TSTEPNL describes the number of Time Steps (100) and Time Increment (0.0004 seconds) of the simulation. End time

is the product of the two entries. Notice here, the Time Increment is only for the first step. The actual number of Time Increments and the exact value of the Time Steps are determined by SOL 700 during the analysis. The step size of the output files is determined by the Time Increment as well. TSTEPNL

One inflator and five compartment AIRBAG entries are defined. An AIRBAG entry instructs SOL 700 to create an airbag using either the CFD method (full gas dynamics) or using a uniform gasbag method. Here, the full gas dynamic method is used for all airbag definitions. Inflow of gas into the airbag is defined by the entries following the INFLATOR key word. Outflow is defined by adding LARGHOLE to the inflator which is connected to the five different compartment airbag. Details of an AIRBAG entry are described below: Airbag 1 is the definition of the inflator airbag. The CFD option defines CFD related data. Gamma law equation of state is defined referring the EOSGAM 3 field. AIRBAG +

Using the INITIAL option, initial conditions of gas property inside an airbag are defined. Initial pressure is 101,325 N/m2, initial temperature is 293 K, initial gamma gas constant is 1.4 and initial R gas constant is 294 N·m2/s2/K. +

The INFLATOR option is used to define gas property from an inflator. Mass flow rate is defined referring a table data (TABLED1). Temperature of inflowing gas is 350 K, a scale factor of available inflow area is 0.7, the gamma gas constant of the inflator gas is 1.557, and the R gas constant of the inflator gas is 243 N·m2/s2/K. + +

The LARGEHOLE option defines the compartment location where gas flows into. In the example below, the first field, LARGHOLE 301 indicates that gas flows through surface 301 into the compartment with ID 2. A scale factor of inflow area is 1.0, meaning that 100% of the gas flows in. Five LARGEHOLE‘s definitions are used to model the gas flow inside the five airbag compartments. + + + + +

EOSGAM defines the ideal gas inside the airbag. This entry is used for each airbag definition. The gamma law gas equation of state is defined by EOSGAM. The pressure p is defined as:  =   – 1   e

where  is a constant, e is specific internal energy per unit mass,  is overall material density. A  constant of 1.517 and R gas constant of 226.4 m2/s2/K are used in this model.
