In this paper, a finite element methodology is given in which finite element models of a three-weld Al-Cu plate is created with support and loading conditions emulating those seen in an optical lab. H....
The paper presents results of the multibody non linear dynamic analysis of the internal combustion engine to study the motions of the piston assembly components like piston, piston rings etc. The comp....
One of the most critical and important fracture mechanisms in a FMVSS207/210/225[1] test is the pull-thru of bolts from the body structure or spot weld separation. There are no analytically proven met....
Orbiting EDM introduces additional electrode motion to enhance debris removal mechanism during machining process. This method offers superior machining quality towards static EDM due to advancement of....
In order to assess the possible ways of energy transfer from the various sources of excitation in a vehicle assembly to a given target location, frequency based substructuring technique and transfer p....
In the present paper, starting from a first attempt design of engine components, a CAD/CAE integrated approach for designing engine is proposed. As first step, some typological quantities are setting ....
Door side intrusion (FMVSS 214, Static) is a quasi-static test to determine the sufficiency of door strength and integrity of its mounting in the event of side impact. Explicit nonlinear solutions are....
The progress of computer technology and CAE methodology makes it possible to simulate dummy injury readings in vehicle crash simulations. Dummy neck injuries are generally more difficult to simulate t....
An automotive exhaust system composed of several elements is one of the most important aggregates in a vehicle in defining the engine efficiency and passenger comfort. Therefore it is very essential t....
This paper deals with the development of a Hood Slam Process Automator (PA) to automate the pre-processing tasks of the virtual slam assessment with non-linear Nastran Transient Sol. 129 on all types ....
For many years, the computer aided math model has been the foundation for lowering cost and reducing time to market for many manufacturing industries. The automotive industry applies a variety of tool....
The ability to accurately predict roof crush strength as well as the timing of structure intrusion is of great importance in the enhancement of the automotive roof design. Roof crush performance is a ....
