Abstract

A seat frame structure in automotive vehicles made of polymer matrix composite to achieve weight reduction at low cost was developed. In order to design and manufacture the actual product studies on material selection and structural analysis were performed. Structural analysis was performed with a finite element method. The analysis was done for several cases suggested in various safety regulations. Each results was utilized to modify the actual shape to obtain a lighter, safer and more stable design. The final design was used to produce a sample bottom plate of the seat structure with reinforced by X-shape frame. Substitution of the material resulted in a weight reduction effect with equivalent strength fatigue and impact characteristics.
