Abstract
The increase of fuel price and emission from the vehicle are concerned by car manufacturer. The weight of car has a direct influence on the fuel efficiency and emission gases. The best way to increase the fuel efficiency is to decrease the weight of the vehicle. Car side door impact beam is a passive safety features in a car. It is mounted on the door panels of passenger cars to protect passengers’ safety from side impact damage. The conventional car side door impact beam is mostly made with high strength alloy steel. High density or heavy weigh are the disadvantage of high strength alloy steel impact beam. The best way to reduce the weight of car side door impact beam without sacrificing the safety is to employ lighter material on it. In this research, a new material and a new design for the car side door impact beam are carried out. There are 3 stages in this research, which are material selection stage, design cross-section type of beam stage, and structural optimization stage. In material selection stage, the new material is chosen based on the requirements of car side door impact beam, which are high strength and stiffness, high toughness, and high energy absorption capability. Cambridge Material Selector (CES) software is used in material selection stage. In design stage, a few cross section types are designed and brought to structural optimization stage. A structural optimization system based on the Solidwork COSMOS is employed. A suitable material and design of new car side door impact beam is chosen after the some comparisons with conventional car side door impact beam are done.
