This report is part of the deliverables from Work Package 5 Computational Mechanics. The objective of WP5 is: Evaluation and enhancement of the use of computational mechanics to complement experimental activity Criteria and procedures for the validation of computational mechanics results through comparison with test results Reconstruction of real life accidents Identification of the activity needed for further enhancement of the use of computational mechanics. This report documents the simulations performed on the B1 (ESP-N2) barrier. The simulations were performed by TRL Limited as part of the ROBUST project and were run with version 970 revision 5434a of LS_DY. The data was output at 1.0E-5 from the THF and NODOUT files. PLEASE NOTE: This report should be read in conjunction with B1 (ESP-N2) Barrier Steel N2 Volume 1 of 2. This report documents the results from the same model, run under version 970 revision of LS-DY. The data was output at 1.0E-5 from the THF files and 1.0E- 3 from the RBDOUT file.

The B1 barrier is an ESP-N2 barrier, which consists of sigma posts and N2 steel profile. The characteristics specific to this simulation are: The sigma posts are fixed 200 mm below ground level All posts are modelled as non-linear The ends of the w-profile are fixed No friction between barrier and vehicle Friction between the ground and tyres was set to Additional data The following data and files supplement the result presentation of the simulation as presented in this chapter.
