Objective
Concerning the cost reductions and increased safety, crash-tests are the most appropriate for appreciating global improvement. Steel-makers need simpler dynamic testing for the evaluation of the steels characteristics, particularly of welds (spot or LASER joints). Furthermore, mechanically effective tests, which are sensitive to microstructural gradients, should be preferred. Constitutive laws should be derived from these tests for incorporation to Finite Element codes for predicting car behaviour during crash situations. The proposed research intends to use a newly developed test (Impact Tensile test) for assessing the influence of welding conditions, steel compositions and microstructures on the dynamic behaviour of welds. The objective of this research is to offer a new tool for the selection and development of new high strength steel grades for automotive applications together with optimal joining conditions.
