Establishment Method of the Simplified Model for Research on the Crashworthiness of B-Pillar in Side Impact

Abstract:

In order to improve the efficiency of the calculation of the whole car side impact finite element model,simplified model often used in research of B-pillar in passenger car. It is critical to establish a high accuracy simplified model in a short time. The relationship between the energy absorption of body parts and the calculation accuracy of simplified model was analyzed,and the result can be used as a guide for the establishment of simplified model.
