Analysis on Impact Performance of Aluminum Automotive Side Member

Abstract:

In this study an aluminium alloy is introduced as an alternative lightweight material in automotive industry. In order to achieve lightweight design, the study was undertaken on a side member of automotive parts. Crashworthiness performance of AA5182 side member is compared to the automotive steel side member. By designing 16 experiments based on full factorial design, the effect of thickness with four levels on the crash performance of the AA5182 side member was investigated for each loading conditions, axial and oblique loading. Mass, energy absorbed and maximum force is set as the evaluation criterion and the full factorial design has presented several designs to serve the evaluated criterion.
