Lightweight design of vehicle structure with tailor rolled blank under crashworthiness
Unlike existing uniform thickness structures, tailor rolled blank (TRB) which allows continuous metal thickness charges has been recently gaining comprehensive attention due to its excellent lightweight potential. The aim of this study is to combine the advantages of the TRB manufacturing technology with the structural optimization methodology to design the front longitudinal beam under impact ...
متن کاملParameter-based topology optimization for crashworthiness structures
Abstract Topology optimization methods like the homogenization method are very efficient for statically and dynamically loaded structures, but the use of these methods for the topology optimization of crashworthiness structures runs into a lot of problems. Especially in structural contact problems, the optimization functions are not smooth and the use of local sensitivity information is not suc...
متن کاملEvaluation of Passenger Rail Vehicle Crashworthiness
In recent years there has been an increased effort to investigate and improve the crashworthiness of passenger rail vehicles in the United States. The structural crashworthiness requirements for new rail vehicles are changing to include specifications for crash energy management and crush zones rather than primarily specifications of vehicle and component strengths. In addition, the structural ...
متن کاملStructural Crashworthiness of Railway Vehicles
As a form of transport, rail has always maintained lower accident levels than its counterparts, the car and the airplane. The railway industry, however strives for still better safety measures to be implemented – a fact which intensifies with each accident that occurs. In the last years the continuous developments in technology, computer modeling capabilities and know-how have opened up various...
متن کاملImproved Vehicle Crashworthiness via Shape Optimization
Advancements in high-performance computing and in nonlinear dynamic structural simulation have made it possible to virtually test potential designs prior to building and testing expensive prototypes. These tools alone, however, still require an engineer to develop a design based on intuition and numerous time-consuming and error-prone iterations. The next level of advancement is software to aut...
