INFLUENCE OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF VEHICLES IN FRONTAL CRASH
The importance of new material applications for improved passive vehicle safety is increasing. Automotive companies are using CAE methods to predict the crash behaviour of cars and to select materials for body structures, which fulfill the safety targets. The quality of crash simulations heavily depends on the material models used for these investigations. In this paper results of research projects on the application of new high strength steel sheet metal in side rail structures are presented. The simulation models used in these studies are described and their importance for Finite Element applications in passive safety is underlined.
