Abstract
Side Door Impact Beam is a secondary safety element in a car. It is a crashworthiness feature that works by absorbing an enormous amount of impact energy with the slightest penetration in an event of impact. The objective of this thesis is to study the mode of collapse and characterizing the most suitable material for Side Door Impact Beam when subjected to frontal impact. Parametric studies such as the effect of material and D/t ratio is also investigated in this research. The variable that has been made to the impact simulation is the type of material diameter over thickness ratio of the beam. The analysis of impact analysis on Side Door Impact Beam is done by simulation using ABAQUS 6.41. ABAQUS 6.41 is a Finite Element Software for advanced finite element analysis especially in dynamics problems. The scope of this thesis is limited and discuss thoroughly in the following aspects: i. Maximum displacement at the time of impact subjected. ii. Maximum stress on the critical area of impact. iii. The amount of energy absorbed. iv. The magnitude on contact force created due to impact. Based on the data gathered on the vehicle, a suitable material and design for Side Door Impact Beam can be determined.
