Abstract: To utilize the deformation of the vehicle and the collision objects in the accidents fully, a new vehicle crash accident reconstruction method by means of the finite element method and neural networks techniques is presented. In the present method, the digital measurement technology is adopted to acquire the deformation of key points on the main en-ergy-absorbing parts as the indices to evaluate the accident. And the non-linear explicit finite element code is adopted to simu-late the crash accidents in order to acquire the calculation val-ues of these indices. On the basis of the numerical results of the crash accidents, a three-layer recurrent neural network is ap-plied to generate an approximated function of the initial crash parameter and the deformation index. The finite element analy-ses are used to generate the examples for the training and test sets of the neural network. These results could be used to train the neural network by back-propagation learning rule. Applica-tion the present method to one vehicle-to-wall accident, at first, the finite element model of the auto-body, wall and the sur-rounding are finished, then the eleven key points on the frontal longitudinal beam and the mudguard are chosen, reconstruction result are solved by comparing the deformation of measuring in the real accident with the data of the simulation results. It is proved to be effective on analysis of this kind of accidents, and so can provide a scientific foundation for accident judgments.
