Crash Test on a Car using ANSYS WORKBENCH. (Explicit Analysis)
An important factor used in determining the crash worthiness of an automobile vehicle during impact is its strength. In designing, a car structure should have the property of protecting or reducing the level of damage done to the driver and the car body, by absorbing the impacted load and reducing the stress values. The frontal side of a car is more liable to high energy impact and deformation during a crash. This paper provides the simulation and analysis of a car frontal crash impact on different barriers using explicit dynamics in ANSYS workbench. A car body of Aluminum material moving with an initial velocity is used to analyse the developed stress and deformation on impact. The developed stress and deformation due to the crash is plotted and analysed.
