DEFINITIONS RIGID MOVING BARRIER: A non-deformable barri

13、er in the form of a platen attached to a rolling carriage intended to impart kinetic energy into the Modular Body during the dynamic pre-load test. DYNAMIC TEST PLATEN: A structurally stiff, flat plate attached to the rigid moving barrier or other device used as a dynamic load input device. BODY MOU

14、NT: The production component or components used to connect the modular body to OEM chassis frame rails. MODULAR BODY: A second-unit body installed by a final stage ambulance manufacturer as a patient compartment. QUASI-STATIC PLATEN: A structurally stiff flat plate, with a length, width and, therefo

15、re, overall surface area that exceeds that of the roof and is used to evenly transfer the static test loading to the Modular Body. CURB WEIGHT: The weight of the complete ambulance; chassis, cab, and body, including full complement of fuel, lubricants, and coolant. QUASI-STATIC TEST: The quasi-stati

16、c test applies a uniform force to the roof of the modular body using the quasi-static platen. SIMULATED FRAME RAILS: A rigid test fixture to which the body mounts are used to attach the modular body. 4. REQUIREMENTS The modular body strength testing is designed to evaluate the crush resistance, oper

17、ation of doors, and body mount-to-frame connections in a 90-to-180 rollover accident. The loading is divided into two phases: 1. a dynamic pre-load that simulates the side loading on the roof rail of a modular body as it impacts the ground during a vehicle roll beyond 90; and 2. a quasi-static roof

18、strength test that simulates the loading on the modular body when the vehicle is inverted. Both phases are conducted on a modular body attached to the same simulated frame rails using the ambulance manufacturers body mounts. To assist with the description of the modular body orientation and directio

19、n of motion, an SAE J1733 reference system is shown for the modular body relative to its original orientation on the vehicle. This is illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Reference frame X (FWD) Z (DOWN) Y (RIGHT) SAE INTERNATIONAL J3057 FEB2017 Page 3 of 9 4.1 The dynamic test platen attached to the

20、 rigid moving barrier shall be sufficiently rigid to meet the limits described in 7.4. 4.2 When under quasi-static loading during the roof crush test, the vertical displacement of the modular body shall not exceed the limits described in 7.5 when measured from ceiling-to-floor along the 4 locations

21、of the body reference points, located at positions representing 25% 1%, and 75% 1% of the overall length (OAL) and overall width (OAW) of the modular body, as illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2 - Location of vertical displacement measurements 5. DYNAMIC PRE-LOAD TEST PROCEDURES In the dynamic pre-loa

22、d, the dynamic test platen attached to the rigid moving barrier impacts one side of the modular body, with the modular body mounted at an angle so that the dynamic test platen initially contacts the roof rail of the modular body. This test simulates roof edge impact to ground in a vehicle rollover.

23、Either side of the modular body may be loaded, depending on whether a driver side or passenger side leading rollover is to be simulated. However, if the modular body or its mounting is not symmetric, such that it may result in a strong or weak side, the weak side of the assembly should be evaluated.

24、 5.1 The modular body shall be affixed to the simulated frame rails using the ambulance manufacturers body mount system. 5.2 The simulated frame rails of the test modular body shall be affixed to the ground at a roll angle of 20 1. 5.3 The longitudinal axis of the modular body shall be perpendicular

25、 to the direction of travel of the dynamic test platen. 5 . 4 The dynamic test platen is oriented vertically. 5.5 The pre-load configuration is shown in Figure 3. OAW SAE INTERNATIONAL J3057 FEB2017 Page 4 of 9 Figure 3 - Dynamic pre-load configuration 5.6 The target speed and design parameters for

26、the dynamic test platen and its supporting structure is computed as described in 5.7. 5.6.1 For the pre-load phase of the test, the minimum energy level is 37965 Joules (28000 ft-lbf). The recommended minimum energy is based on measured results from an ECE R66 test of a typical, modern (2005 model y

27、ear) type III ambulance. Manufacturers can, at their discretion, exceed this minimum energy level. 5.6.2 A rigid dynamic test platen shall be used to simulate the ground contacting the side of the modular body during a rollover event. 5.6.2.1 The dynamic test platen shall be sufficiently large and p

28、ositioned such that the modular body will only be in contact with the mid-face of the dynamic test platen, not the upper or lower edge. 5.6.2.2 The width of the dynamic test platen should be sized such that it extends a minimum of 15.26 cm (6 inches) beyond the fore and aft ends of the modular body.

29、 5.6.2.3 The face of the dynamic test platen is to be covered with a 19 mm (0.75 inch) thick layer of plywood. The dynamic test platen must be rigidly attached to the front of its carriage such that the assembly is a rigid moving barrier. 5.7 Rigid Moving Barrier NOTE: This Recommended Practice was

30、validated using a rigid moving barrier as the dynamic load input device. The design for dynamic load input device used during validation testing is provided as Figures 4 and 5 for reference. The dynamic input device had a weight of 14170 pounds. with a target velocity of 3.44 m/s (7.69 mph) and targ

31、et kinetic energy of 37.96 kJ (28000 ft-lbf). The discussion that follows defines those parameters needed to reproduce the kinetic energy developed during the dynamic load test. However, other forms of dynamic pre-load are acceptable as long as they meet test conditions and energy levels described h

33、includes the dynamic test platen, its carriage, all included structure, all suspension, braking and tire elements, and all instrumentation shall have a total mass of between 2268 kg (5000 pounds) and 6804 kg (15000 pounds). The rigid moving barrier is towed and released to freely roll into the modul

34、ar body at the target impact velocity shown below. System drag should be considered to achieve the target velocity at impact versus when the rigid moving barrier is released from the tow system. Ballast shall be added as necessary to the rear of the carriage to stabilize it and obtain the target mas

35、s. The rigid moving barrier impact velocity to obtain the desired pre-load energy level is computed with the equation shown below. (Eq. 1)where: VRMB = Rigid Moving Barrier Impact Velocity for the Dynamic Pre-Load Test in meters per second (m/s) for SI units or Miles Per Hour (mph) in US customary u

37、Hour, 1/1.4667 (mph/ft/s). Only needed for the US customary calculation G = Gravitational Constant, 32.174 (lb-ft/s2/lbf). Only needed for the US customary calculation The rigid moving barrier velocity at impact, based on the minimum 2268 kg (5000 pounds) and maximum 6804 kg (15000 pounds) allowable

38、 weight of the rigid moving barrier, will be a maximum of 5.79 m/s (12.94 mph) and minimum of 3.34 m/s (7.47 mph). 5.8 Instrumentation and Observations 5.8.1 Follow SAE J211-1 for all electronic instrumentation data acquisition, including front-end sensors. All video shall be captured and processed

39、according to the most recent version of SAE J211-2. 5.8.2 Follow SAE J1727 for all post-processing calculations. 5.8.3 Record the applied dynamic test platen load with load cells installed between the dynamic test platen and its carriage. Triaxial load cells are recommended. 5.8.4 It is recommended

40、that the acceleration of the dynamic test platen be recorded as this data is necessary to calculate the energy transferred to the modular body at impact. If used, accelerometers should be located on the platen adjacent to each load cell. 5.8.5 Record the acceleration of the rigid moving barrier usin

41、g a triaxial accelerometer on the aft side of the dynamic test platen, and also near the cg of the Rigid Moving Barrier. 5.8.6 Record the impact velocity using a high-speed optical sensing system and a high-speed timing device. 5.9 Post-Test Inspection and Performance Requirements for the Dynamic Pr

42、eload Test 5.9.1 Validate the kinetic energy of the Rigid Moving Barrier met or exceeded the minimum acceptable value of 37965 Joules (28000 ft-lbf). 5.9.2 Verify that all Modular Body entry doors can be opened individually. SAE INTERNATIONAL J3057 FEB2017 Page 7 of 9 5.9.3 Inspect the dynamic test

43、platen face to ensure that no permanent deformation is found. Damage to the 19 mm (0.75 inch) plywood face is acceptable. 5.9.4 Inspect the text fixture to ensure the base remained at the test angle of 20 1. 5.9.4.1 The modular body must remain attached to the simulated frame rails through at least

44、two body mounts, with at least one body mount attached on each simulated frame rail. 6. QUASI-STATIC TEST PROCEDURES Following successful completion of the testing described in Section 5, the Type I, Type I-AD, Type III, or Type III-AD modular body that was subjected to the dynamic pre-load test sha

45、ll be utilized in the quasi-static roof crush test. The modular body shall withstand a force equal to 2.5 times the curb weight of the vehicle applied to the roof in the process described below. 6.1 The force shall be quasi-statically applied by a rigid quasi-static platen. 6.2 The quasi-static plat

46、en shall be sufficiently large and positioned such that the module will only be in contact with the interior of the quasi-static platen, not the outer edge. In other words, the length, width, and surface area of the quasi-static platen shall exceed the surface of the roof line to which the loading w

47、ill be applied. The quasi-static platen shall have a degree of freedom in the lateral direction as to not resist the modular bodys tendency to rack during the load test. Figure 6 shows a typical test setup for the quasi-static roof crush test. Figure 6 - Typical roof load test setup 6.3 All non-stru

48、ctural components that extend above the roof line shall be removed. 6.4 Mark the four locations of vertical displacement recording devices in accordance with Figure 2. 6.5 Install vertical displacement recording equipment in marked locations. 6.6 All entry doors are to be closed and latched but not
