Crashworthiness is the ability of a structure to
protect its occupants during an impact. This is commonly
tested when investigating the safety of vehicles. In this
study, side impact test finite element models were
presented. The crashworthiness of the side members is
generally evaluate with the amount of penetration as well
as the shape of the center pillar and the side sill after
crash. The crash simulations utilized the LS-DYNA finite
element code. The analysis result provides deformed
shapes, amounts of penetration and accelerations at
several important points during crash. The results
indicate that the center pillar has considerable potential
to absorb the impact and reducing the deformation and
intrusion of the vehicle.
