Abstract:
      Based on the finite element method and the control volume method,it is available to build a model for the impact attenuation of bi-cylinder.Taking the cylindrical airbag with the landing speed of 6.7m/s,the diameter of 1m and the height of 2m as an example,the landing velocity and acceleration are simulated by using the LS-DYNA software.At the same time,the effect of the elastic modulus,the venting area and the initial pressure in the airbag on the impact attenuation are also analyzed.The results show that:(1) Increasing the elastic modulus of airbag fabric will significantly improve the shock-absorbing capacity of the airbag,when the elastic modulus of airbag fabric is under 0.5GPa; however,the increasing has few effects on the improvement,when the elastic modulus of airbag fabric exceeds 0.5GPa.(2) Increasing the initial pressure of the airbag fabric will improve the shock-absorbing capacity of the airbag effectively,when the pressure is lower than the value of the venting area.
