Method for activating and measuring adaptive deformation structure, particularly crashbox, involves providing voltage pulse to coil based on control signal to influence position of actuator

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves providing a voltage pulse to a coil (114) based on a control signal to influence a position of an actuator. The coil is impinged with an electric signal to change the electromagnetic field of the coil and the actuator. A mutual induction in the coil is determined to ascertain the position of the actuator. The impinging is interrupted when the voltage pulse is provided. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a device for activating and measuring an adaptive crash structure; and (2) a computer program product with a program code. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for activating and measuring an adaptive deformation structure, particularly crashbox. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The coil is impinged with an electric signal to change the electromagnetic field of the coil and the actuator and a mutual induction in the coil is determined to ascertain the position of the actuator, and hence ensures quick and efficient activation and measurement of an adaptive deformation structure. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of an adaptive deformation structure. 100 : Deformation structure 104 : Deformation element 106 : Die 110 : Ring 114 : Coil.
