Project Background

A domestic automaker needed comprehensive evaluation and optimization of vehicle crash performance during new model development to meet C-NCAP five-star safety standards.

Technical Solution

  • Frontal Crash: 100% overlap rigid barrier and 40% offset deformable barrier
  • Side Impact: Mobile deformable barrier side impact
  • Pedestrian Protection: Head and leg impactor simulation
  • Restraint System: Seatbelt and airbag matching optimization

Analysis Content

  1. Full Vehicle Crash: LS-Dyna explicit dynamics analysis
  2. Dummy Injury: HIC, chest compression, thigh force evaluation
  3. Structural Deformation: Crash process deformation patterns and energy absorption
  4. Optimization Design: Key component thickness and material optimization

Project Results

  • Crash safety meets C-NCAP five-star requirements
  • 8% weight reduction in key components
  • 3-month reduction in development cycle
