Analysis and Simulation of B-Pillar for a Vehicle

Analysing automotive chassis parts is important to learn how to keep passengers safe in traffic accidents. Crash analyzes are conducted to create a safe traffic flow for vehicles, passengers and other creatures. Simulation programs applied instead of collision analysis are both faster and less costly. In this research, Solidworks, CES Edupack and Ansys were used to get information about the B-pillar impact test. Each different simulation standard has different results. In this study, the automotive industry's common side impact test standards were used in the B Pillar impact test simulation. All auto parts affect the safety of passengers, but the goal of this research is B-pillar. B-pillar design and material selection are of great importance in terms of simulation results and passenger safety in the automotive industry. In this study, simulations were made using the finite element analysis method and 140 kN was chosen as the impact force. In this research, two different designs were created for the B-pillar. As a result of the first analysis, B-pillar exceeded 1100 MPa selected as the tensile strength value and material rupture occurred. In the design made with DP1000, the B-pillar did not exceed 1100 MPa and the living space was not damaged.
