Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the effect of front seat structure in Federal (FMVSS 214) dynamic side impact Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation. This research investigates the side structure behaviour, buckling mode, velocity, and deformation of components such as the B-pillar, front door, rear door, floor pan, and rocker in three different configurations, using two different front seat stiffnesses. A methodology was developed to reduce side structure deformation and associated component velocities, thereby minimising occupant loading. (A)
