Abstract

Abstract: Various products such as refrigerators, mobile phones, televisions, washing machines, remote controls, telecommunication and military equipment, etc. are subjected to drop tests to assess their fragility and impact tolerance. It is difficult and expensive to understand the effect of various parameters on the product performance during the test. Finite element simulations using LS-DYNA® effectively help to understand these effects. In this paper we have improved the stiffness of a rear panel of a washing machine by integrating new plastic parts called spacers and metal reinforcement plates. To get the best results we have considered the pre-stresses as well.
