The Adult Occupant Protection score is determined from frontal impact, side impact and whiplash tests, which are carried out to evaluate the protection of adult driver and passengers offered by the vehicle. 

1-1 Full Width Rigid Barrier-FRB
Cars against a rigid barrier with full overlap at a test speed of 50km/h. A small female frontal impact dummy is seated in the front driver’s seat and in the rear passenger side seat.

1-2 Offset-Deformable Barrier – ODB
In the full-scale test, the car is driven at 64km/h and with 40 percent overlap into a deformable barrier which represents the oncoming vehicle. The test replicates a crash between two cars of the same weight, both travelling at a speed of 50km/h. Two frontal impact dummies representing the average male are seated in the front and child dummies are placed in child restraints in the rear seats.

1-3 Side Mobile Barrier
A deformable barrier is mounted on a trolley and is driven at 50km/h into the side of the stationary test vehicle at right angles. A side impact dummy representing an average male is put in the driver’s seat and child dummies are placed in child restraint systems in the rear.

1-4 Side Pole
A car is propelled sideways at 32km/h against a rigid, narrow pole. The car is placed at right angles to the direction of motion, or as is done from 2015 onwards, at a small angle away from the perpendicular. A single average male side impact dummy is placed in the driver’s seat.

The Pedestrian Protection score is determined from tests to the most important vehicle front-end structures such as the bonnet and windshield, the bonnet leading edge and the bumper. In these tests, the potential risk at injuries to pedestrian head, pelvis, upper and lower leg are assessed.

Head impact
Most pedestrian accidents occur within city areas where speeds are moderate. The head, the lower body and the legs are amongst the most frequently injured body regions. To estimate the potential risk of head injury in the event of a vehicle striking an adult or a child, a series of impact tests is carried out at 40 km/h using an adult or child head form impactor. Impact sites are then assessed and the protection offered is rated as good, adequate, marginal, weak or poor.The procedure promotes energy absorbing structures, deformation clearance and deployable protection systems such as pop-up bonnets and external airbags.

Upper Leg Impact
To estimate the potential risk of pelvis and upper leg injuries in the event of a vehicle striking an adult, a series of impact tests is carried out at 40 km/h using an adult upper leg form impactor. Impact sites are then assessed and the protection offered is rated as good, adequate, marginal, weak or poor.The procedure promotes energy absorbing structures and a more forgiving geometry that mitigates injuries.

Lower Leg Impact
To estimate the potential risk of leg injuries in the event of a vehicle striking an adult, a series of impact tests is carried out at 40 km/h using an adult leg form impactor. Impact sites are then assessed and the protection offered is rated as good, adequate, marginal, weak or poor. The procedure promotes energy absorbing structures and a more forgiving geometry that mitigates injuries to the leg.

• More than 1,000 children die in traffic accidents in Europe every year. Nearly half of all fatal child accidents occur when children are occupants of motor vehicles.

  Vehicle manufacturers are legally obliged to provide information on the use of child restraint systems on vehicle seats. NCAP checks the suitability of different child restraint systems and verifies the protection provided by recommended child restraint systems in frontal or side impact events.

  Initially, child dummies simulating children aged 1.5 to 3 years were placed in child restraint systems recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the rear seats. In 2016, the test configuration changed, and the test was changed to place child dummies simulating children aged 6 to 10 years on booster seats or cushions.

  The dummy’s head movement, neck load, and chest acceleration are the main measurement indicators during the test. If the test indicators remain at a low level, and the dummy does not bounce off the seat or violently impact the vehicle interior during the collision, the vehicle will receive an award. This ensures that children are always properly restrained in a collision event.

• 欧洲每年有超过 1,000 名儿童死于交通事故。 几乎有一半的儿童致命事故都是在儿童作为机动车乘员的情况下发生的。
  车辆制造商在法律上有义务提供关于在车辆座位上使用儿童约束装置的信息。NCAP会检查不同儿童约束装置的合适程度，同时验证在正面或侧面碰撞事件中推荐的儿童约束装置所提供的保护。
  最初，模拟 1 岁半至 3 岁儿童的儿童假人被安放在汽车后排座椅上由汽车制造商推荐的儿童约束装置中。2016 年，试验配置发生了改变，试验改为将模拟 6 至 10 岁儿童的儿童假人安放在防护座椅或坐垫上。
  假人的头部运动、颈部承重和胸部加速度是试验过程中的主要测量指标。如果试验指标保持较低水平，并且碰撞过程中假人未从座椅上弹起或不会与车辆内部猛烈撞击，则该车辆将获奖项。这可以确保儿童在碰撞事件中始终受到正确的约束。

• As an important connection between occupants and the vehicle, automotive seats play a particularly important role in occupant safety. Reasonable seat structural design can ensure that the seat meets certain strength requirements under complex load conditions, absorbs more collision energy while ensuring functions do not fail, and effectively reduces the degree of occupant injury during collisions.

  Based on the seat of a certain brand of automobile, finite element simulation analysis methods are used to study its safety performance. The main work is as follows: First, the CAD digital model of the seat is discretized, and components such as the frame, height adjuster, and slide rails are carefully meshed to obtain a detailed structural model. The materials and properties of each component are determined according to real material characteristics, and reasonable connection methods are selected to ensure simulation accuracy.

  Second, HyperMesh and Primer are used as pre-processors, LS-DYNA, Nastran, and Abaqus as solvers, and HyperView as the post-processor. According to the test conditions specified in domestic regulations GB 15083-2006, GB 11550-2009, and GB 14167-2006, as well as the 2021 version of China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP), relevant parameters are set and corresponding boundary conditions are defined. Simulation models are established for the modal test, headrest energy absorption test, seat back static strength test, seat static strength test, seat inertia resistance test, seat belt anchorage strength test, ISOFIX anchorage strength test, luggage impact test, and whiplash test.

• 汽车座椅作为乘员和汽车的重要连接纽带,对乘员的安全起到尤为重要的作用。合理的座椅结构设计,能够确保座椅在承受复杂载荷的条件下满足一定的强度要求,能够在保证功能不失效的前提下吸收更多的碰撞能量,能够有效地减轻碰撞过程中乘员的损伤程度。
• 基于某品牌汽车的座椅,运用有限元仿真分析方法,对其安全性能进行研究,主要工作如下: 首先,对座椅的CAD数模进行离散化处理,对骨架、高度调节器及滑轨等零部件进行细致地划分,得到详细的结构模型。根据真实的材料特性确定各零部件的材料及其属性,并选择合理的连接方式保证仿真的精度。 
• 其次,运用Hypermesh和Primer作为前处理器,LS-Dyna、Nastran以及Abaqus为求解器,Hyperview为后处理器。依据国内法规GB15083-2006、GB11550-2009和GB14167-2006以及2021版中国新车评价规程(C-NCAP,China New Car Assessment Program)规定的试验条件设置相关的参数,定义相应的边界条件,建立模态试验、头枕能量吸收性试验、靠背静强度试验、座椅静强度试验、座椅抗惯性试验、安全带固定点强度试验、ISOFIX固定点强度试验、行李箱冲击试验以及鞭打试验的仿真模型。

• CAE finite element simulation analysis of automotive mirrors is a key digital means to verify their structural performance and safety reliability. The process first establishes a high-precision finite element mesh model including components such as the mirror housing, mirror bracket, base, and folding mechanism based on the 3D geometric model, and accurately assigns material properties to each component (such as elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and yield strength).

  The simulation mainly covers several core load cases: simulating the wind pressure load on the mirror body during high-speed vehicle driving, evaluating whether its deformation affects the field of view and whether the stress at the bracket root exceeds the limit; according to regulatory requirements, simulating the folding and return process of the mirror body around its axis under external force, analyzing the durability damage of the rotating shaft and limit structure; in addition, modal analysis is included to avoid resonance with engine or road excitation frequencies. Through solving and calculation, the stress distribution and fatigue life of dangerous areas can be accurately predicted. The simulation results not only guide lightweight product design and reduce physical trial and error, but are also the core basis for ensuring that mirrors meet mandatory standards such as vibration durability, impact resistance, and aerodynamic performance, significantly shortening the development cycle and reducing costs.

• 汽车后视镜的CAE有限元仿真分析是验证其结构性能与安全可靠性的关键数字化手段。该过程首先基于三维几何模型，建立包含镜壳、镜托、基座及折叠机构等部件的高精度有限元网格模型，并准确赋予各部件材料属性（如弹性模量、泊松比及屈服强度）。
• 仿真主要涵盖多个核心工况：模拟车辆高速行驶时镜体承受的风压载荷，评估其变形量是否影响视野及支架根部应力是否超限；依据法规要求，模拟镜体在外力作用下的绕轴折叠与回位过程，分析转轴及限位结构的耐久损伤；此外，还包括模态分析以避免与发动机或路面激振频率共振。通过求解计算，可精准预判危险区域应力分布与疲劳寿命。仿真结果不仅指导产品轻量化设计，减少实物试错，更是确保后视镜满足振动耐久、抗冲击及空气动力学性能等强制性标准的核心依据，显著缩短了开发周期并降低了成本。

• Composite materials are new types of materials formed by combining several different types of materials, such as organic polymers, inorganic non-metals, or metals, through composite processes. They can retain the main characteristics of the original component materials while obtaining properties that the original components do not possess through composite effects. Through material design, the properties of each component can be made to complement each other and be interrelated, thereby obtaining new superior properties, which is essentially different from the simple mixing of general materials.
• 复合材料是由有机高分子、无机非金属或金属等几类不同材料通过复合工艺组合而成的新型材料，它既能保留原组分材料 的主要特色，又通过复合效应获得原组分所不具备的性能。可以通过材料设计使各组分的性能互相补充并彼此关联，从而获 得新的优越性能，与一般材料的简单混合有本质的区别。

• Automotive Safety: The performance of a vehicle in avoiding accidents during driving and ensuring the safety of pedestrians and occupants. It is generally divided into active safety, passive safety, post-accident safety, and ecological safety. In road traffic accidents, the safety performance of the vehicle itself is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Good automotive safety performance can often avoid accidents or reduce the degree of injury or death. Active safety means controlling the vehicle as freely as possible. Whether it is braking and acceleration in a straight line or steering left and right, it should be as smooth as possible, without deviating from the intended route, and without affecting the driver’s field of view and comfort. Such a vehicle naturally has a relatively high ability to avoid accidents, especially ensuring vehicle safety under sudden conditions. Passive safety refers to the protection of occupants inside the vehicle after an accident occurs. Today, this concept of protection has extended to all people and even objects inside and outside the vehicle.
• 汽车安全性（automobile safety）汽车在行驶中避免事故，保障行人和乘员安全的性能，一般分为主动安全 性、被动安全性、事故后安全性和生态安全性。在道路交通事故中，汽车本身的安全性能也是不可忽视的因素。 汽车安全性能好，往往可以避免事故的发生或减少伤亡的程度。主动安全就是尽量自如的操纵控制汽车。无论 是直线上的制动与加速还是左右打方向都应该尽量平稳，不至于偏离既定的行进路线，而且不影响司机的视野 与舒适性。这样的汽车，当然就有着比较高的避免事故能力，犹其在突发情况的条件下保证汽车安全。 被动 安全是指汽车在发生事故以后对车内乘员的保护，如今这一保护的概念以及延伸到车内外所有的人甚至物体。

• Modern shipbuilding technology is developing toward a high degree of mechanization, automation, integration, modularization, and computerization. Large-scale, high-value-added ship engineering equipment will become the focus of competition in the global ship market. At the same time, marine equipment has also become an important part of modern ships, accounting for about 60%–70% of the ship price. After more than 30 years of hard work since reform and opening up, China’s shipbuilding industry as a whole has entered a mature stage, and its operational capability is higher than that of other manufacturing industries. China has become the world’s third largest shipbuilding country, and its export market has expanded to more than 60 countries and regions worldwide. Since 2004, China has achieved breakthroughs in core technologies in the design of a series of high-tech ships.

  In the coming period, the development of China’s shipbuilding should be considered from two aspects. One is that ship types should be continuously optimized, including VLCCs, container ships, bulk carriers, cruise ships, etc., to form a number of brands internationally. The other is that through technological innovation and continuous development, a number of internationally competitive, high-value-added ship types should be formed, realizing the historic leap from a major shipbuilding country to a strong shipbuilding country.
