Experimental Determination of Mechanical Properties for the Purposes of Numerical Simulations of Car Bumper Tests

Article Preview

Abstract:

Finite-element (FE) analysis is important instrument for prediction of plastic car bumper tests. Accuracy of FE analysis depends on accuracy of material input data. It has developed experimental methodology for identification of mechanical properties. The methodology leads to more accurate material input data for numerical simulations.
