Abstract
The paper summarizes preliminary work on crash analysis25–27 performed on an extended finite element model as provided by the nonlinear LARSTRAN program package at ICA. The essential methodology is evolved along the natural finite element approach. Also overviewed are solution techniques for the nonlinear equations of motion. The application of a simple folding mechanism is indicated and crashworthiness computations of car structures are described.Keywords
