FMVSS Head Crash Target Point BP2 FEA Simulation Using B Pillar Trim
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract
The major area where most of the automobile industries are concentrated nowadays is protection of passengers during the crash. Most of the passengers will suffer from head injury during crash, when head of the passenger will impact the parts of the car such as in rollover or side impact the head of the passenger will be impacted with the pillars of the vehicle. The sports utility vehicles have more tendencies to rollover compared to other passenger vehicles as they will be having higher center of gravity. In this paper we describe the CAE technique for the simulation of interior head impact test as per Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 201).Where FMVSS 201 is the standards for occupant protection for interior impacts. Here in this paper as we are concentrated on head impact of passenger we follow FMVSS 201U standards. This paper describes how we carried out iteration to meet FMVSS standard to reduce Head Impact Criteria value below 1000.
