Multi-objective design optimization for crash safety of a vehicle with a viscoelastic body and wide tapered multi-cell energy absorber using DOE method. Automotive Science and Engineering. 1396; 7 (3) :2447-2464
چکیده: (20417 مشاهده)
Due to the extensive use of cars and progresses in the vehicular industries, it has become necessary
to design vehicles with higher levels of safety standards. Development of the computer aided design and
analysis techniques has enabled employing well-developed commercial finite-element-based crash
simulation computer codes, in recent years. The present study is an attempt to optimize behavior of the
structural components of a passenger car in a full-frontal crash through including three types of energy
absorptions: (i) structural damping of the car body, (ii) viscoelastic characteristics of the constituent
materials of the bumper, and (iii) a proposed wide tapered multi-cell energy absorber. The optimization
technique relies on the design of experimental (DOE) method to enables finding the absolute extremum
solution through the response surface method (RSM) in MINITAB software. First, the car is modeled in
PATRAN and meshed in ANSA software. Then, the full-scale car model is analyzed in ABAQUS/CAE
software. The optimization has been accomplished through a multi-objective function to simultaneously,
maximize the observed energy and minimize the passenger’s deceleration. Results are verified by the
experimental results and effects of using non-equal importance coefficients for the absorbed energy and
passenger’s deceleration in the multi-objective function are also evaluated. Influence of the optimized
parameters on the frontal crash behavior of the vehicle body structure and passenger’s deceleration is
investigated, too.
