Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structural safety by comparing deformation and equivalent stress of door with a stiffener or no stiffener when the door crashes against something in case of overturn. Three types are classified on the basis of the no stiffener model in the vehicle door. One is the type which has a stiffener. Another is the type which has no stiffener and the other is the type which has a hole in the stiffener. These three types are compared with each other by analyzing. This side door of vehicle is the automotive part about the kind of vehicle as Mercedes Benz E-Klasse scaled down as 1/18 times as the real size. The study model of vehicle door is modelled by CATIA program and it is analyzed by ANSYS.
