The relative impact performance of tailor welded blank technologies for optimum mass efficiency

Objetivo

The automotive "body-in-white" structure has been traditionally fabricated by using press formed components. The demand for increased crash safety and greater mass efficiency has led to the extensive substitution of traditional mild steel with higher strength products. This project examine the different forming processes now at the disposal of the automotive designer, which may be exploited to fabricate crash-sensitive body structures. The relative performance of a number of design solutions will be evaluated both practically and analytically. The forming processes will include press-forming, hydroforming and roll-forming, and the work will also evaluate the potential of tailor welded blanks and patch piece technologies to further enhance structural performance and mass efficiency.
