Abstract
Abstract
A study of basic and simple models for topology design optimization in crash events is presented. A 1D collinear and a 2D truss lattice models were implemented and used to solve a set of problems to design the topology of structural members of vehicles under frontal crash. Both design models explore several optimization formulations as well as possible design variables to address the fundamental issues in crashworthiness design, namely, minimization of accelerations while controlling or reducing deformations. Results show the viability of these simple models to solve structural topology optimization problems for crashworthiness.
