10th International Conference and Workshop on Numerical Simulation of 3D Sheet Metal Forming Processes, Bristol, Birleşik Krallık, 4 - 09 Eylül 2016, cilt.734
The effects of forming on the crash simulation of a vehicle have been investigated by considering the load paths produced by sheet metal forming process. The frontal crash analysis has been performed by the finite element method, firstly without considering the forming history, to find out the load paths that absorb the highest energy. The sheet metal forming simulations have been realized for each structural component of the load paths and the frontal crash analysis has been repeated by including forming history. The results of the simulations with and without forming effects have been compared with the physical crash test results available in literature.
