Understanding the crushing behaviour of aluminum honeycombs under dynamic loading is useful for crash simulations of vehicles and for design of impacting energy absorbers. In the study of honeycomb crushing under quasi-static, dynamic loading, the most important parameter is crush strength. Crush strength is indicated to energy absorption characteristic of aluminum honeycomb. In this study, Using Finite Element Analysis carried out crush strength of hexagonal aluminum honeycomb then the results was compared with Quasi-static test. Consequently, Crush strength is different in quasi-static loading and dynamic loading about 16%.

Assuming that the static loaded square tube and the dynamic loaded one have no difference in their characteristics of the crush distance, the theoretical mean dynamic crush load was calculated with respect to the impact speed considering the strain rate sensitivity of the material. The ratio of dynamic to static mean crush load was predicted with previous results. The theoretical analysis was compared with the experimental results of aluminum square tubes axially loaded dynamically.

In this paper, the axial crush of the rectangular STS304 tube is analyzed using DYNA3D, and 10 models are tested under quasi-static load. The deformed shapes of analysis and test are present, and the analysis results are compared with the results of quasi-static test. This paper describes that free rotational boundary condition causes a very similar deformed shapes to expermental results, and using the elastic buclking modes as initial imperfecion shapes, the deformed shapes are very close to the experimental shapes.

The door stiffness is one of the important factors side impact. Generally, the researches have been conducted on the assembled door module. This study is to analysis the side impact characteristics for automotives door module. The impact characteristics have been determined by door module side impact test machine. To determine the initial, intermediate and peak crush resistances use the plot of load versus displacement and obtain the integral of the applied load with respect to the crush distances specified below for each door tested. The initial crush resistance is the average force required to deform the door through the initial 6 inches of crush. The intermediate crush resistance is the average force required to deform the door through the initial 12 inches of crush. The peak crush resistance will be directly obtained from the plot of load versus displacement since it is the largest force required to deform the door through the entire 18 inches crush distance. The data are used to determine if a specific vehicle or item of automotives equipment meets the minimum performance requirements of the subject Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard(FMVSS). FMVSS Static 214, Side impact protection, specifies performance requirements for protection of occupants in side impact crashes.

The spacer grid assembly is one of the main structural components of the nuclear fuel assembly of a PWR. The spacer grid assembly supports and aligns the fuel rods, guides the fuel assemblies past each other during handling and, if needed, sustains lateral seismic loads. The ability of the spacer grid assembly to resist the lateral loads is usually characterized in terms of its dynamic and static crush strengths, which are acquired from tests. In this study, a finite element analysis on the dynamic crush strength of spacer grid assembly specimens is carried out and compared with test results.

This article aims at presenting multi objective optimization of parameters that affect crashworthiness characteristics of bi-tubular structures using Taguchi method with grey relational analysis. To design the experiments, the $L_9$ orthogonal array has been used and based on that, the inner tubes have been fabricated by varying the three influence factors such as reference diameter, length difference and numbers of sides of the polygon with three levels, but all the outer cylinders have the same diameter and length 90 mm and 135 mm respectively. Then, the tailor made bi-tubular steel structures were subjected into quasi static axial compression. From the test results it is found that the crushing behaviors of bi-tubular structures with different combinations were fairly significant. The important responses (crashworthiness indicators) specific energy absorption and crush force efficiency have been evaluated from load - displacement curve. Finally optimal levels of parameters were identified using grey relational analysis, and significance of parameters was determined by analysis of variance. The optimum crashworthiness parameters are reference diameter 80 mm, length difference 0 mm and number of sides of polygon is 3, i.e., triangle within the selected nine bi-tube combinations.

Due to environmental problem for reduction in fuel consumption, vehicle emission and etc., many automotive makers are trying to reduce the weight of the vehicle. The most effective way to reduce the weight of vehicle is to use lighter materials, aluminum, plastics. Aluminum Space Frame has many advantages in weight reduction, body stiffness, ease of model change and so on. So, most of automotive manufacturers are attempting to develope Aluminum Space Frame body. For these reasons, we have developed Aluminum Intensive Vehicle based on steel monocoque body with Hyundai Motor Company. We achieved about 30% weight reduction, the stiffness of our model was higher than that of conventional steel monocoque body. In this paper, with optimization using FEM analysis, we could get more weight reduction and body stiffness increase. In the long run, we analyzed by means of simulation using PAM-CRASH to evaluate crush and crash characteristic of Aluminum Intensive Vehicle in comparison to steel monocoque automotive.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 점용접된 정사각 모자형 박판튜브의 적정 용접간격을 제시해보았다. 적정 용접간격은 에너지흡수 측면에 기준을 두었다. 이를 위해 먼저, 실제 압괴특성을 반영하는 유한요소 모델이 확립하였다. 실제 압괴 특성을 반영하는 유한요소 모델은 본 연구에서 수행된 실험결과에 기초하여 설정하였다. 이 과정에서 다음과 같은 결과들을 도출하였다. (1) 모자형 박판튜브의 압괴해석시 원활한 접힘을 유도하고 과도변형과 접촉에 의한 수치오류 및 비정상 압괴거동을 방지하기 위해 적정 요소크기와 해석시간에 대한 예비연구가 필요하다. (2) 다양한 용접간격의 유한요소모델들에 대한 압괴해석을 거쳐 주어진 폭에 대해 최대 에너지 흡수 용접간격 [식 (1)]을 제시하였다. 또한 최적용접 간격의 모자형 박판튜브는 후폭비 (t/w)가 커질수록 에너지흡수능력 이 증가한다. (3) 다양한 두께와 폭을 갖는 사각튜브에 대한 유한요소해석을 통해, 사각튜브 흡수에너지 예측에 있어 평균압괴하중 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다. 이를 토대로 후폭비항으로 표현되는 수정된 평균 압괴하중으로 최적용접간격을 갖는 모자형 박판튜브의 흡수에너지식 (5)를 제시하였다. 식 (5)의 적용시, 주어진 폭에 대해 (최적)용접간격을 유지함과 동시에 식 (6)의 한계후폭비를 만족해야 한다.

The priority of Crashworthiness concept for rolling stock is progressively increasing to reduce the damage of drivers and passengers as well as the car. For the first step of this research, the analysis of the crash elements have been performed. Also the longitudinal collapse force and mode is important point for whole carbody structure to guarantee the lower force at end part rather than the main passenger area. The carbody quasi-static collapse analysis and real test has been performed in the research. The crash elements FEA and test has been performed as well. After the initial Analysis and test, the correlation analysis between the FEA and test has been performed by FEA tunning. All this result will be used for real crashworthiness design for carbody structure.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the effective analytical procedure using finite element model for the crashworthiness of motorized trailer of high speed train. The static crush of rectangular section frame is analyzed by experiment and numerical simulation. The equivalent thickness distribution of the aluminum frame ensuring the same energy absorption as the steel frame is obtained. In the analysis of end-on collision of TGV-K, deformed pattern and section forces are obtained, and the effect of crushable zone are examined. The numerical results are applied to the design of motorized trailer of Korean high speed train.
