Simulation Analysis of Car Front Collision Based on LS-DYNA and Hyper Works

摘要

Based on the basic principle of vehicle crash analysis using the finite element method, a car finite element model was built by using Hypermesh software. To simulate the front collision test of the car, the LS-DYNA software is adopted to calculate the deformation of the car and the acceleration time history curves during the crashing process;the anti-impact capability of the car is evaluated from this simulation. The results demonstrate that the improvement of local structure can promote the crashworthiness of the car, but the further improvement needs a major change of the car structure.
