Design and Analysis of Crashworthiness of an Automotive Body

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on automotive engineering, this book details the concept design of a car's front end through comprehensive packaging studies. It outlines the creation of a detailed 3D model in CATIA and an FEA model using HYPERMESH for impact stress analysis. The analysis examines deformation and energy absorption rates, emphasizing passenger safety in compliance with federal safety standards. Key parameters such as materials, dimensions, shape, and styling are thoroughly analyzed to enhance the crashworthiness of the vehicle's frontal structure, including the body, bumper, and bonnet.
