Abstract:In the global supply chain, large trucks, tractors, and semitrailers are essential as the final step in this complex network.

To solve this issue, some regulations have required the installation of additional protection devices on the front, sides, and rear where these gaps exist, for example, FMVSS 223, 224 of the US, or UNECE R58 of Europe. Using LS-DYNA s… Show more
