Abstract
The car door is typically made of steel, with an internal and external panel that also serves as a mounting plate for the various connections. However, doors are among the most appealing vehicle parts for light weighting: the ability to reduce absolute weight with two or four entrances is critical. The objective of this work is to reduce the weight of car doors by using Natural Fibers (NF) such as Kenaf fiber (KF), Prosopis juliflora bark (PJb) and Jute fiber (JF) fortified polyester mixtures for modelling and simulation. These models are compared with existing polypropylene material. In this study, the car door has modelled through Solid works. Afterward, the various impact attributes of automobile car door panel for mixture material and polypropylene material at different speeds are performed using Ansys Explicit Dynamic Analysis. The analysis results of NF reveal the enhanced total deformation and equivalent strain by about 20.14%, 27.78%, 85.9%, and 68.9% respectively for the velocities of 60 and 72kmph compared with polypropylene material. The NF composite helps to absorb more stress and strain, preventing damage to the vehicle body as well as the passengers.
