Finite Element Simulation Of The Offset-Deformable Barrier Euro Ncap Crash Test Reproduction On A Hyge Sled For Assessing Ten-Year-Old Child Safety, Paolo Lorusso
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research focuses on the definition of the guidelines to simulate a sled test which reproduces the ODB Euro NCAP crash test, using LS-DYNA Finite Element code. In addition, the last sections are based on the validation of the model, comparing numerical results with those of an experimental sled test performed with the same equipment in late 2018, and on a sensitivity study on the friction coefficient of a virtual slip ring. Several FE models have been utilized, to represent vehicle body, seats and restraint system with LS-DYNA. The subject of the test is a ten-year-old child dummy (Q-series Q10), …
Simulation Of Pipe Hydroforming, Yang Jin
Simulation Of Pipe Hydroforming, Yang Jin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The importance of investigating the formation of a torsion beam and understanding how it can be manipulated to perform at an optimum condition is crucial to car manufacturers. Developing and remodelling the torsion beam can allow both a simpler structure and quicker assembly while reducing the space required for a car suspension’s system, thus saving time and costs for manufacturers. Nowadays, the use of hydroforming technology has become widespread because it is able to obtain complex hollow parts more easily and has been continually developed to become a globally applied technology in the formation of a torsion beam of a …
