Limits of Permissible Damage in Strong-Post W-Beam Guardrail
Crash tests of strong-post w-beam guardrail have focused entirely on the performance of new guardrail. The risk posed by minor damage modes, e.g. small deflections and missing posts, has never been evaluated. Using finite element models validated by real world crash tests, this study assessed the …

Finite Element Modeling of Occupant Injury Risk and Crash Performance of W-Beam Guardrail Barriers in Roadside Crashes
… at investigating the crash performance of w-beam guardrail barriers in vehicle-roadside crashes using the finite element method. The developed roadside barrier models can be used to assess the occupant injury risk, vehicle performance, and damage to guardrail barriers during a roadside …

Injury Risk of Road Departure Crashes using Modeling and Reconstruction Methods
… Common roadside objects such as trees, poles, guardrails, embankments, culverts, and fences result account for roughly 46% of these fatalities. Efforts to reduce to injury risk and risk exposure in these crashes have been hampered by the difficulty in performing reconstructions. To address the …
