Benchmark Cases

Some papers about V&V in roadside safety.

· Acceptance criteria for validation metrics in roadside safety based on repeated full-scale crash tests (Mongiardini and Ray)

· Validation of a biofidelic LS-DYNA model and comparison vs a tradition aTD finite element model for assessing knee-thigh-hip injuries (Silvestri and Heath)

· Quantitative methods for assessing similarity between computational results and full-scale crash tests (Ray, Mongiardini and Plaxico)

· Development of the Roadside Safety Verification and validation Program (Ray, Mongiardini and Anghileri)

· Repeatability of full-scale crash tests and a criteria for validating simulation results (Ray)

· Comparison of validation metrics using repeated full-scale automobile crash tests (Ray, Anghileri and Mongiardini)
