Simulation and analysis on low speed collision of crash boxes

Ming Qu

Abstract

This paper is mainly devoted to the analysis of a front collision of crash box at low speed.A finite element model of crash box was built up with shell element of Hypermesh software package.Both the experiment and theoretical analysis verified the feasibility of simulation model.Therefore the factors affecting the crashworthiness of crash box were determined.The aspects for improving the crashworthiness of crash box are pointed out.
