Stainless is now a candidate for structural applications. Offering weight savings, enhanced “crashworthiness” and corrosion resistance, it can also be recycled. The material blends tough mechanical and fire-resistant properties with excellent manufacturability. Under impact, high-strength stainless offers excellent energy absorption in relation to strain rate. It is ideal for the revolutionary ...

This paper built the 100% frontal crash model of minibus, 8 thickness components which have obvious effect on vehicle performance were selected as design variables, and choose appropriate evaluation index responses. Use DOE experimental method to get 70 set training data Kriging approximate based data. The is optimized by PSO algorithm, in scheme, amax m has decreased 7.6% 0.87%, D1, D2 D3 7.7%...

tic perception. Even though modern petrol cars are very quiet, a higher crashworthiness has not occurred so far. By installing artificial sounds one of the main advantages of electric vehicles, soundless driving, would be destroyed. This article by the University of Duisburg-Essen experimentally traces the potential risk of danger and tries to propose solutions. SoUnD PErcEPTion of ElEcTric VEh...

new product development (npd) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale. in the automotive industry, within the context of iso/ts16949:2002 (the automotive quality management system international standard),  these related to the product realization process (prp) which consists of three main phases such as planning, implementat...

Abstract Due to its exceptional mechanical and crashworthiness properties, lightweight nanocomposites have recently been used more in aviation, defense, nautical, automotive applications. Nanocomposite cylinders could be effectively employed this respect as energy‐absorbing components for decreasing the impact energy during vehicle crashes. The current work examined response of nano‐alumina (Al...

Consumer crash test programs provide comparative information on the crashworthiness of new vehicles which, in turn, should predict the performance of the same vehicles in real-world crashes. However, the detail and quality of available information from tests and real-world crashes differ widely, so identifying meaningful relationships between crash test results and real-world crashworthiness ca...
