Week 11 Car Crash simulation
Aim:- To perform car crash analysis in Explicit Dynamics
Objective:-
- perform a parametric study using 3 different values of thickness for the car body( 0.3mm , 0.5mm, 0.6mm )
Pre-Processing:-
Geometry:-
Material Selection:-
Structural Steel for wall
Stainless steel NL for car body
Symmetry:-
Meshing:-
Patch Confirming Method:-
All triangles Method:-
Face sizing:-
Mesh:-
Analysis settings:-
Fixed support:-
Displacement:-
Solver Output:-
Case 1:- Body thickness is 0.3mm
Total Deformation:-
Equivalent Stress:-
Case 2:- Body thickness is 0.5mm
Total Deformation:-
Equivalent Stress:-
Case 3:- Body thickness is 0.6mm
Total Deformation:-
Equivalent Stress:-
Results:-
Conclusion:-
- The increcases in thickness results decrease in ductile nature followed by increase in hardness of body.
- With increase in thickness value the total deformation decreases slightly.
- Same as with Equivalent Stress increase in thickness results in decrease in stress values.
