• 在各行业中涉及到金属连接的部分，焊接是整个生产中非常关键的一环，涉及到的焊接不仅种类多、焊缝多、焊接结构复杂，且大部分焊缝均为多层多道焊，这就导致了在整个焊接过程中，零件的焊接变形难以控制。
• 因此长期以来，对于焊接工艺的改进和优化主要依靠工艺人员的经验和各类工艺试验，一直缺乏一套专业的有效的方法和手段。随着计算机技术的发展和有限元理论的逐渐成熟，焊接模拟仿真技术已经开始成为在焊接工艺优化改进过程中的良好手段和方法。

Seats and head restraints are tested on a sled using a low speed rear-impact dummy. Three dynamic tests are done, representing common accident severities known to cause injuries, together with an assessment of the geometry of the front and rear head restraints.

• 汽车后视镜的CAE有限元仿真分析是验证其结构性能与安全可靠性的关键数字化手段。该过程首先基于三维几何模型，建立包含镜壳、镜托、基座及折叠机构等部件的高精度有限元网格模型，并准确赋予各部件材料属性（如弹性模量、泊松比及屈服强度）。
• 仿真主要涵盖多个核心工况：模拟车辆高速行驶时镜体承受的风压载荷，评估其变形量是否影响视野及支架根部应力是否超限；依据法规要求，模拟镜体在外力作用下的绕轴折叠与回位过程，分析转轴及限位结构的耐久损伤；此外，还包括模态分析以避免与发动机或路面激振频率共振。通过求解计算，可精准预判危险区域应力分布与疲劳寿命。仿真结果不仅指导产品轻量化设计，减少实物试错，更是确保后视镜满足振动耐久、抗冲击及空气动力学性能等强制性标准的核心依据，显著缩短了开发周期并降低了成本。

• 运用有限元方法，在研发阶段对其刚度、强度、模态、耐久及碰撞安全等性能进行虚拟验证的关键技术。通过建立高精度有限元模型，可模拟仪表板在静态载荷、动态振动及温度变化等工况下的响应，提前识别设计缺陷并指导优化。该技术能有效缩短开发周期、降低试验成本，是提升仪表板总成结构可靠性与安全性的核心手段

The Adult Occupant Protection score is determined from frontal impact, side impact and whiplash tests, which are carried out to evaluate the protection of adult driver and passengers offered by the vehicle. 

1-1 Full Width Rigid Barrier-FRB
Cars against a rigid barrier with full overlap at a test speed of 50km/h. A small female frontal impact dummy is seated in the front driver’s seat and in the rear passenger side seat.

1-2 Offset-Deformable Barrier – ODB
In the full-scale test, the car is driven at 64km/h and with 40 percent overlap into a deformable barrier which represents the oncoming vehicle. The test replicates a crash between two cars of the same weight, both travelling at a speed of 50km/h. Two frontal impact dummies representing the average male are seated in the front and child dummies are placed in child restraints in the rear seats.

1-3 Side Mobile Barrier
A deformable barrier is mounted on a trolley and is driven at 50km/h into the side of the stationary test vehicle at right angles. A side impact dummy representing an average male is put in the driver’s seat and child dummies are placed in child restraint systems in the rear.

1-4 Side Pole
A car is propelled sideways at 32km/h against a rigid, narrow pole. The car is placed at right angles to the direction of motion, or as is done from 2015 onwards, at a small angle away from the perpendicular. A single average male side impact dummy is placed in the driver’s seat.

The Pedestrian Protection score is determined from tests to the most important vehicle front-end structures such as the bonnet and windshield, the bonnet leading edge and the bumper. In these tests, the potential risk at injuries to pedestrian head, pelvis, upper and lower leg are assessed.

Head impact
Most pedestrian accidents occur within city areas where speeds are moderate. The head, the lower body and the legs are amongst the most frequently injured body regions. To estimate the potential risk of head injury in the event of a vehicle striking an adult or a child, a series of impact tests is carried out at 40 km/h using an adult or child head form impactor. Impact sites are then assessed and the protection offered is rated as good, adequate, marginal, weak or poor.The procedure promotes energy absorbing structures, deformation clearance and deployable protection systems such as pop-up bonnets and external airbags.

Upper Leg Impact
To estimate the potential risk of pelvis and upper leg injuries in the event of a vehicle striking an adult, a series of impact tests is carried out at 40 km/h using an adult upper leg form impactor. Impact sites are then assessed and the protection offered is rated as good, adequate, marginal, weak or poor.The procedure promotes energy absorbing structures and a more forgiving geometry that mitigates injuries.

Lower Leg Impact
To estimate the potential risk of leg injuries in the event of a vehicle striking an adult, a series of impact tests is carried out at 40 km/h using an adult leg form impactor. Impact sites are then assessed and the protection offered is rated as good, adequate, marginal, weak or poor. The procedure promotes energy absorbing structures and a more forgiving geometry that mitigates injuries to the leg.

欧洲每年有超过 1,000 名儿童死于交通事故。 几乎有一半的儿童致命事故都是在儿童作为机动车乘员的情况下发生的。
车辆制造商在法律上有义务提供关于在车辆座位上使用儿童约束装置的信息。NCAP会检查不同儿童约束装置的合适程度，同时验证在正面或侧面碰撞事件中推荐的儿童约束装置所提供的保护。
最初，模拟 1 岁半至 3 岁儿童的儿童假人被安放在汽车后排座椅上由汽车制造商推荐的儿童约束装置中。2016 年，试验配置发生了改变，试验改为将模拟 6 至 10 岁儿童的儿童假人安放在防护座椅或坐垫上。
假人的头部运动、颈部承重和胸部加速度是试验过程中的主要测量指标。如果试验指标保持较低水平，并且碰撞过程中假人未从座椅上弹起或不会与车辆内部猛烈撞击，则该车辆将获奖项。这可以确保儿童在碰撞事件中始终受到正确的约束。

• 汽车座椅作为乘员和汽车的重要连接纽带,对乘员的安全起到尤为重要的作用。合理的座椅结构设计,能够确保座椅在承受复杂载荷的条件下满足一定的强度要求,能够在保证功能不失效的前提下吸收更多的碰撞能量,能够有效地减轻碰撞过程中乘员的损伤程度。
• 基于某品牌汽车的座椅,运用有限元仿真分析方法,对其安全性能进行研究,主要工作如下: 首先,对座椅的CAD数模进行离散化处理,对骨架、高度调节器及滑轨等零部件进行细致地划分,得到详细的结构模型。根据真实的材料特性确定各零部件的材料及其属性,并选择合理的连接方式保证仿真的精度。 
• 其次,运用Hypermesh和Primer作为前处理器,LS-Dyna、Nastran以及Abaqus为求解器,Hyperview为后处理器。依据国内法规GB15083-2006、GB11550-2009和GB14167-2006以及2021版中国新车评价规程(C-NCAP,China New Car Assessment Program)规定的试验条件设置相关的参数,定义相应的边界条件,建立模态试验、头枕能量吸收性试验、靠背静强度试验、座椅静强度试验、座椅抗惯性试验、安全带固定点强度试验、ISOFIX固定点强度试验、行李箱冲击试验以及鞭打试验的仿真模型。

• 在工程实践中，有限元分析软件与CAD系统的集成应用使设计水平发生了质的飞跃，主要表现在以下几个方面：增加设计功能，减少设计成本；缩短设计和分析的循环周期；增加产品和工程的可靠性；采用优化设计，降低材料的消耗或成本；在产品制造或工程施工前预先发现潜在的问题；模拟各种试验方案，减少试验时间和经费。

• 复合材料是由有机高分子、无机非金属或金属等几类不同材料通过复合工艺组合而成的新型材料，它既能保留原组分材料 的主要特色，又通过复合效应获得原组分所不具备的性能。可以通过材料设计使各组分的性能互相补充并彼此关联，从而获 得新的优越性能，与一般材料的简单混合有本质的区别。
