汽车安全气囊系统撞击传感器的有限单元分析------外文翻译.doc

ABSTRACT

Automobile spring bias crash sensor design time can be significantly reduced by using finite element analysis as a predictive engineering tool.The sensors consist of a ball and springs cased in a plastic housing.Two important factors in the design of crash sensors are the force-displacement response of the sensor and stresses in the sensor springs. In the past,sensors were designed by building and testing prototype hardware until the force-displacement requirements were met. Prototype springs need to be designed well below the elastic limit of the material.Using finite element analysis, sensors can be designed to meet forcedisplacement requirements with acceptable stress levels. The analysis procedure discussed in this paper has demonstrated the ability to eliminate months of prototyping effort.

MSC/ABAQUS has been used to analyze and design airbag crash sensors.The analysis was geometrically nonlinear due to the large deflections of the springs and the contact between the ball and springs. Bezier 3-D rigid surface elements along with rigid surface interface (IRS) elements were used to model ball-to-spring contact.Slideline elements were used with parallel slideline interface (ISL) elements for spring-to-spring contact.
Finite element analysis results for the force-displacement response of the sensor were in excellent agreement with experimental results.


摘要

汽车弹簧碰撞传感器可以利用有限单元分析软件进行设计，这样可以大大减少设计时间。该传感器包括一个球和一个有弹簧在内的塑料套管的外壳。传感器设计的重要因素是碰撞中的两个传感器的力位移响应和传感器的弹簧压力。以前传感器的设计、制作和测试需要满足力位移原型硬件的要求。弹簧必须远低于材料的弹性极限而设计。利用有限元分析，传感器可以被设计为满足力位移的水平压力。本文的讨论说明利用有限单元分析进行设计可以节省很多时间。
MSC/ABAQUS已经被用于分析和设计安全气囊碰撞传感器。弹簧的大挠度和球与弹簧之间的接触用几何非线性分析。贝塞尔三维刚性球表面元素和惯性基准系统刚性表面界面元素被用于塑料球与弹簧接触面的分析。滑动轨道分析被用于弹簧与弹簧接触的平行界面间。有限元传感器的力位移响应分析结果与实验结果非常一致。
