Virtual modelling of the crash cushion operation with projected destruction

The article discusses a technique for virtual modeling of the process of deformation and fracture of the structure of a crash cushion, which is used to protect the places of road works, which occurs when a car hits the device during a road accident. The peculiarity of the approach consists in taking into account and modeling the processes of fracture of special energy-absorbing elements used in devices for absorbing impact energy due to the directional destruction of these elements.
