Finite Element Analysis of the Extrusion Process for an Automobile Bumper

자동차용 범퍼 압출 공정의 유한요소해석

The development of an aluminum bumper is required in order to reduce the weight of the automobile. An porthole die extrusion process is simulated by the finite element method in order to develop the aluminum bumper which is manufactured by hollow section extrusion. The general-purpose finite element analysis software is used. The developed analysis method can be applied to the optimization of the porthole die extrusion process for the aluminum bumper.
