Fig. 12. Sequences of the simulation: (a) beginning of the analysis; (b) touchdown; (c) sliding and inclination; (d) rebound.

In addition, almost all stanchions fail (Fig. 14), pointing out that they are very critical components. Nevertheless, the connection between the passenger’s floor beam and the main structure is still available due to the metallic lags.
