Abstract:This paper focuses on the application of topology optimisation algorithms to improve the crashworthiness of heavy passenger vehicles, in frontal impact conditions. The objective is to find the optimal arrangement of material to minimise compliance, satisfying a volume constraint. Ultimately, it is intended to analyse the influence of this component in the energy absorption capability of the vehicle structure during a crash. Crashworthiness design plays a crucial role in the automotive industry, particularly in… Show more
