Abstract:

Oblique impact is common in vehicle accidents, and a reasonable inductive structure of energy absorbing components is crucial for comprehensive crashworthiness. In this paper, the design method of inductive structure based on aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube is studied. Firstly, a high-precision finite element model of aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube is established, which is verified by experiments. Then, based on the multi-angle compression conditions, the effect of the location parameter, number parameter, shape parameter and size parameter of the induction groove on the crashworthiness of aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube is studied respectively. The results show that the location parameter has the greatest influence on the comprehensive crashworthiness. Setting a rectangular induction groove in the upper part of the hybrid tube can largely reduce the peak force and enhance the energy absorption stability. Finally, based on the NSGA-II algorithm, the multi-objective optimization design of the induction groove is carried out. The optimization results show that the peak force of the hybrid tude is reduced by 35.5% on the premise of ensuring the comprehensive energy absorption under different weight schemes, effectively solving the problem of balancing high energy absorption and low peak crushing force. The research results provide important guidance in the design and application of energy absorbing components.
