The Body Structural Optimization Based on Safe Side Impact

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of analyzing the whole side crashworthiness, based on C-NCAP side impact regulations, this study has analyzed the structural characteristics influencing the side impact of car, and proposed the corresponding structural optimization case. According to FEM, the body optimization case has been simulated and contrasted with the real results. As a result, a good side crashworthiness of the car has been obtained, which helps reduce the cost and the quality of the car. Besides, the study has also done simulation work of the rigidity and modal of the body-in-white and compared it with the real results, which has further tested the correctness of optimization model and helped achieve effective approaches to the design of the car side crashworthiness.
