Re-engineered beam design & evaluation to sustain high Impact for mid -size four wheeler’s using finite element analysis A case-study Gopi S

Abstract

Abstract- Objective of this research paper is to replace the current car door side impact beam with re-engineered design and use a high strength steel of yield stress 1.2 GPa, instead of low strength steel of yield stress 0.366 GPa, in order to reduce the intrusion of side closure structure which in turn reduces injuries of the occupant during fatalities. The usage of high strength impact beam on the car door has been implemented and its effect in the reduction of intrusion of the door structure has been evaluated.
