- Design of auto body: Materials perspective - ScienceDirect
Two of the biggest drivers influencing material selection for auto body applications are safety and fuel economy regulations These have significantly impacted vehicle mass and performance over the past several decades Safety regulations were first introduced in the 1960s starting with seat belts
- Design of auto body: Materials perspective - ScienceDirect
This chapter will review the history of automotive materials and how these regulations have influenced changes in these materials The focus will be on body, chassis, and suspension applications with a comparison of the dominant material, steel, to competing materials, aluminum, magnesium, and polymer composites
- Crashworthiness assessment of front side members in an auto-body . . .
Auto-body members such as a front side member should be designed to efficiently absorb the kinetic energy during the car crash in order to secure occupants from the impact and penetration The estimation of the energy absorption efficiency of auto-body members requires the accurate crash analysis for the load-carrying capacity and the crash mode
- Lightweight design of automobile component using high strength steel . . .
High strength steel sheet can be used in auto-body to improve components’ impact energy absorption capacity and resistance to plastic deformation The automobile weight can be reduced by use of high strength steel sheet of a thinner thickness to replace the mild steel sheet of body parts [1], [3] Comparing with aluminum, magnesium, and
- Automotive Steels - ScienceDirect
The focus will be on body, chassis, and suspension applications with a comparison of the dominant material, steel, to competing materials, aluminum, magnesium, and polymer composites Select 2 - Steels for auto bodies: A general overview
- Fatigue properties of transformation-induced plasticity and dual-phase . . .
AHSS can realize the lightweight of auto-body, reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions on one hand; improve service performances, e g , stiffness, strength, crashworthiness [1], and fatigue durability [2] on the other hand DP steel and low-alloy multiphase TRIP steel are two typical kinds of AHSS, of which TRIP steel has attracted more
- Vehicle crash accident reconstruction based on the analysis 3D . . .
The damage energy analysis method reconstruct the accidents based on the 2D deformation of the auto-body The other methods can only be applied in the extra traffic accidents Due to the variety, complexity and instantaneity of the traffic accidents, the precision of the quantitative analyses of the accidents manually is fairly low
- The Deformation Properties of High Strength Steel Sheets for Auto-body . . .
The most important criterion for auto-body from the view of safety is the ability to absorb energy at impact The most frequent cases of impact are frontal and lateral impact (Fig 2) so the auto-body has to be designed to prove absorbing maximum energy and prevent the passenger’s threat
