概要 Overview
歩行者安全保護と軽衝突の２つを両立するコア構造の最適設計を行いました。衝撃吸収に必要とされる荷重変位曲線をコア構造の最適な幾何形状によって実現しています。この事例では汎用プラスチックをコア材として用いることで環境負荷の低減やコスト削減も実現しています。
We have successfully designed an optimal core structure that achieves a balance between pedestrian protection and minor collision safety. We achieve this property by designing cell geometry to precisely meet the load-displacement curve required for impact absorption. In this case, we have utilized commodity plastics as the core material, which could contribute sustainability and reduction of manufacturing costs.
設計手法 Approach
初期設計段階ではユニット構造単位での設計・解析のフィードバックを高速に実行し初期形状を探索します。その後、適切なユニット構造を対象部材に埋め込み形状を最適化し歩行者安全性能と軽衝突性能の両立を達成しました。
In the initial design stage, we rapidly implement design and analysis feedback on unit structures to explore the preliminary geometry. Subsequently, we embed the appropriate unit structure into the target component and optimize its shape. This process has enabled us to successfully achieve a balance between pedestrian protection and minor collision safety.
