FMVSS 강도테스트에 따른 자동차 시트프렘임의 유한요소 해석

This study presents the st겨ctural analysis of car a seat frame by the finite element method. The load-deformation characteristics of seat frame are simulated according to the test requirements by FMVSS. Three dimensional modeling technique is applied to the components of the seat frame. The shell, solid. gap and rigid elements are employed to model the car seat frame assembly. Numerical results show that the recliner and knuckle plate are identified as the possible weak part of frame. and the results are well consistent with the experimental static load test. The current analysis model can provide useful informations to design a new car seat and can reduce the overall design cost and time.
