Component : 3rd Load Path
- A new structural crash component is designed to absorb the impact energy
- Tube structure is designed with bending process
- 1,6kg weight reduction is gained with new solution
Techical details and lessons learned ;
- Tube shape is optimised with its section and bending form.
- All design steps are optimised with the frontal crash analysis result.
- Laser welding, CO2 welding, bending process parameters are considered as an input for design steps
- Coating thickness is optimised according to norm value and corrosion resistance targets.
