| Abstract [eng] |
In the case of side impact in contrast to frontal one, there are no distinguished deformation zones. Nevertheless, vehicle safety is characterized by various tests and regulations, but none of them defines strength characteristics of side doors anti-intrusion beams. After experimental testing of side doors anti-intrusion beams produced by different manufacturers it was stated, that the beams support very different bending loadings, what allows to do an assumption, that a beam being mounted not always fulfills its function or mechanical features are chosen unreasonably. Computational models of side doors anti-intrusion beams, allowing preliminarily evaluation of structure stiffness during vehicle impact against side obstacle, were developed. |
