Design and Analysis of Anti-intrusion Beams for Car Door

Incremental design process for vehicle structural components using thermoplastic-based composites: A simulation-guided approach for door anti-intrusion beams

“…In scientific literature, a wide diversity of analyzes on the effectiveness of metal-based anti-intrusion beams can be found [5][6][7][8][9]. In terms of composite structures, there is a prominent amount of research dealing with the evaluation of crashworthiness of elemental geometries like cylinder, square, tophat or T-shapes, among others [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
