Sled Crash Test System is one of the key elements in todays high safety vehicle
designs. In the crash test systems, high speed imaging by high speed cameras is
required. For the success of high speed imaging, high speed cameras should be well
secured on the sled of the system which is being accelerated to high-g values to
simulate vehicle crash. In this study, structural analysis of the high &ndash / g camera
support structure for the sled crash test sytem which is available in METU-BiLTiR
Center Vehicle Safety Unit is carried out. For the secure connection of the high speed
cameras, three different configurations of the camera support structure with different
camera positions are analyzed by transient dynamic analysis. The finite element
simulations are carried out under the acceleration of 90 g which is the maximum
applicable acceleration on the system. After verification of the configurations with
the computer simulations, one of the configuration has been tested at the sled test
facility of METU-BILTIR Center Vehicle Safety Unit.
