RESULTS:

•     We have seperated the cases into two parts first 3 cases as contact types & interfaces & next 3 cases as notches.
•     In the first 2 cases there is no difference because no initial penetrations in the model for Inacti to have an effect. It has increased                  no of  cylces & other parameters because, we have selected Type-11 edge to edge contact.
•     In the next 3 cases, notches plays a vital role. Notches are first collapse in the event of a crash by controlling the rigid wall forces,                  contact energy, internal energy flow can be controlled.
•     It is observed from the animations that deformation takes place from the notches. But contact forces have some changes in their values.
•     Thus the given cases are divided into two sub categories i.e; (contact interfaces & notches)
