DT Engineering Associates Inc. performed two analyses on the Link Barrier system. Each analysis simulated the impact of a go-kart into the Link Barrier system. The first simulation was on a five link system and the second was performed on a single link. These simulations are for demonstration purposes only and are not representative of actual conditions.

The following is a description of what each .avi movie represents:

1. Barrier Assembly Movie – An impact to the center of the Barrier Link system and the resulting movement of the system. The color gradient maps the distance the barrier travels in inches. Click Here To View (50 kb .wmvi File)

2. Barrier Assembly Stress Movie - An impact to the center of the Barrier Link system and the resulting movement of the system. The color gradient maps the resulting stress on the system in pounds per square inch (psi). Click Here To View (50 kb .wmv File)

3. Barrier Part Movie - An impact to the center of the Barrier Link and the resulting movement of the part. The color gradient maps the deflection of the part upon impact in inches. Click Here To View (50 kb .wmv File)
