Abstract:

Due to the excellent specific energy absorption characteristics of lattice structure, it has broad application prospect in the passive safety of new energy vehicles. Taking the crash box filled with lattice structure as the research object, the finite element model of the automobile crash boxes with different lattice structure inner cores are established. The crashworthiness performance of different filling crash boxes and traditional crash box under multi-angle oblique collision conditions are comparatively analyzed. The interaction mechanism between the lattice structure and crash box body and the basis of inner core selection are expounded. On this basis, further considering the influence of the body inducement slot on the deformation modes under multiple working conditions, the multi-objective crashworthiness optimization design of the crash box filled with the lattice structure based on the improved body structure is carried out. The results show that the crash box filled with positive Poisson's ratio lantern-like lattice structure has stable and excellent energy absorbing performance. Compared with the original crash box, the mass is reduced by 32.05% using the optimization scheme. On the premise of ensuring that the maximum impact force is less than the threshold, the comprehensive performance indicators are significantly improved.
