Week 11 Car Crash simulation
OBJECTIVE :-
- To perform a parametric study using 3 different values of thickness for the car body.
- Analyse the total deformation and Equivalent stresses acting on the model
PROCEDURE:-
- Open ansys work bench R2
- selece explicit dynamics
- rename the work if it necessary
- select stainless steel non linear material from engineering data source
- import geometry
- rename its part properly

- select stainless steel non linear material and assign it for car body

- click parameter box provided in definition section ,input .3 mm as thickness for first case
- insert symmetry in model section ,insert symmetric region ,select end side of wall as its scope
- insert symmetric region ,select all edge of car body by edge filter tool

- in connection section ,delete default contact ,keep body interaction as it is
- in mesh section ,click generate mesh ,it any further adjustment needed insert sizing and adjust element size

- in anlysis section input 0.001 s for end time

- insert fixed support ,select its scope by selecting some part from back side of the car body

- insert displacement ,select one side of wall as its scope ,input zero for x and y axis ,input 500 mm through tabular data for z axis

- insert total deformation ,equivalent stress and equivalent strain from solution section
- run solve
RESLUT:-
TOTAL DEEFORMATION:-

EQUIVALENT STRESS:-

EQUIVALENT STRAIN:-

PARAMETER VALUE :-

TABULATION :-
| CAR BODY THICKNESS(mm) | TOTAL DEFORMATION(mm) | EQUIVALENT STRESS(MPa) | EQUIVALENT STRAIN(mm/mm) |
| 0.3 | 966.851430935973 | 4988.97019110289 | 0.0249518217892494 |
| 0.5 | 964.82522733625353 | 5006.3375715590919 | 0.025038682534923355 |
| 0.8 | 964.4239071377865 | 4995.0381790637166 | 0.02498201091909312 |
| 1.0 | 869.27991783932714 | 4729.5052776849925 | 0.023653256065049741 |
CONCLUSION:-
- Total deformation is reduces with increasing thickness of car body
- equivalent stress is maximum for car body having thickness of 0.5mm is 5006.34 MPa
- equivalent strain less in 1 mm thickness body and is equal to 0.02366
