Advances in nonlinear finite element analysis of automobiles

Abstract: Abstract-The objective in this paper is to present some recent advances for the finite element analysis of automobile structures. These advances pertain to the development of effective basic finite element procedures and the efficient solution of large systems of equations. With these new procedures, it is possible to model much more accurately (and reliably) the actual nonlinear physical behavior of complex structures. The illustrative solutions given in the paper include the solution of a roof-crush problem … Show more

“…In one series, the material density is real while the virtual loading speed is 8, 40, 80, 400, 800, 4000, 8000, 40000 and 80000 mm/s. In the other one, the ratio of the virtual material density to the real one, namely the material density magnification, is 1, 10, 100, 1×10 3 , 1×10 4 , 1×10 5 , 1×10 6 , 1×10 7 and 1×10 8 the upper part of composite tubes, leading to delimitations between the two layers. Then the inner layer of the wall is compressed inward, while the most of the outer layer is outward.…”

“…With the code LS-DYNA, several literatures [6][7][8][9][10] have carried out comprehensive researches on the simulation of quasi-static crushing progress of thin-walled metal structures. The literature [6] puts forward the loading-speed-increasing method to reduce the computing time.…”

“…(1) and (2), in the explicit time integration solution, a stiness matrix is not formed, iterations for equilibrium at the time steps considered are not carried out, and instead a simple time-marchingforward solution is produced. This analysis approach is attractive because diculties with respect to convergence in equilibrium iterations do not arise.…”
