Latest Patents
One of Samuel Shamir's latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for side impact testing of motor vehicles at a sub-system level." This invention provides a method for predicting full-scale crashworthiness for side impact collisions by advancing a side impact barrier into the vehicle shell at a predetermined speed. This innovation significantly reduces development costs and time. The fixture designed for this testing includes a base for supporting the vehicle shell, a side portion for reinforcing the lateral side of the vehicle shell, and a roll-over prevention structure. Additionally, it features a plurality of casters attached to the base for mobility.
Another notable patent is the "Method and apparatus for offset impact testing of vehicle components at a sub-system level." This apparatus includes a mobile unit and a vehicle sub-system, such as a toe-board and a torque box. The design allows for the releasable attachment of the vehicle sub-system to the mobile unit. By advancing the mobile unit into a rigid barrier at a predetermined speed, this invention accurately predicts full-scale toe-board intrusion and torque box crush, thereby reducing costs and time in the testing process.
