Abstract

In this paper, a frontal crash analysis is carried out with a full vehicle model in order to investigate the influence of stamping effects of auto-body members on the crash characteristics of the vehicle. Stamping effects are considered for load carrying members such as the front side member and the rear lower. From the analysis result considering stamping effects, it is conformed that stamping history has to be considered for longitudinal members simultaneously that transfer the impact load under the frontal impact. Comparison of simulation result with experimental one also shows that the prediction accuracy of the crash analysis is remarkably improved.
