Design, Analysis and Optimization of Car Door

Abstract

Abstract: The main aim of this project is the design, analysis and optimization of car doors. The car door is one of the essential parts of the vehicle, made of plastic, steel, and aluminum materials. Safety is a concern for automobile users due to the number of accidents happen and the increase the number of car users. The car door protects the passenger from external impact. The energy-absorbing capacity of the door has the potential to reduce the impact of the door. Automobile industries have been focused on the optimization of doors and increasing the efficiency of the vehicle. The impact analysis is done with a falling steel ball as per the specification, and the crashworthiness is studied. Improve the design until we get the best result for improving the safety of the door design. This analysis reduces the damage to cars and protects passengers. This analysis reduces the impact by 10%. The design of the car door is done using CATIA. Our problem statement focuses on side-impact analysis using software tools like Hypermesh and LS-Dyna.
