| Abstract: | In this study an aluminum alloy AA5182 is introduced
as an alternative lightweight material. The analysis is performed
on a main energy absorber for frontal impact that is the
automotive side member. It is the aim of this paper to highlight
the importance of properly designed automotive side member for
occupant protection in crash. The work investigates the crash
performance of the automotive side member made of steel and its
aluminium counterpart. Simulations are carried out through
nonlinear finite element analysis software Ls-dyna. It was shown
that the introduction of AA5182 provides great reduction in mass
while improving the occupant protection. |
