자동차 시트용 라운드 리클라이너의 후방 충돌 성능 평가를 위한 수치해석 모델링

The development of more safe recliners is an important issue in the automotive industry. However, the development of new recliners is costly and take much time because it is typically based on experimental evaluation using prototypes. This study presents the evaluation of rear crashworthiness for round recliner using finite element method. That reduces the number of repeating test and gives an information about stiffness. To evaluate rear crashworthiness, the FMVSS 301 simulation and pendulum impact simulation were performed. The load path on two simulations was observed and compared each other in this paper. Also stress, strain and internal energy was compared. It is attempted the tooth strength simulation using a substructure option on PAM­CRASH.
