TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - A study for fast analysis method of vehicle structure for offset crash JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Suzuki, N.

VL - 2003 IS - N2 - A fast analysis method of vehicle body structure for offset crash test was investigated from the various parameters such as section properties, vehicle mass and crushable length in the engine compartment. A practical useful relationship between these parameters and the vehicle crashworthiness was determined. This method was very effective to implement a better new structure from the initial design stage before initiation of FEM simulation and to decrease iteration cycles by FEM simulation.
