University worthiness

ECOSHELL, is a Seventh Framework research program (agreement 265838) European project, grouping private companies and research institutes. The target is to design an electrical urban vehicle (category L7e) called “CITI-ZEN”, only composed of bio composite and foam parts, with a weight under 400kg (excluding power and drive train).

In this 3-year project, which started in September 2011, CADLM and Cranfield University have jointly realized the materials identification, and are responsible for crash worthiness design of the vehicle. Material samples are provided by Mahytec.

CADLM (system

optimization

CADLM is specialized in modelling and design optimization and is present on many industrial segments (manufacturing, transport, consumer products, biomedical). Our expertise extends beyond FE methods since we exploit fully the complete chain of the know-how leading to a design, using machine learning and data mining techniques. CADLM realises studies and provides software solutions for advanced engineering (system reliability, reduced complexity based robust design), numerical simulation, optimization and on-borad decision support systems based on model reduction techniques.

Frontal Crash SimulationFrontal Crash Simulation With DYNA software (ODB) positioned

With the material characterization, CADLM developed a frontal crash model on LS DYNA software based on the ECE-R94 regulations using a frontal deformable barrier (ODB) positioned at 40 % offset. The initial velocity is at 56Km/h.

Validation of material characterization in LS DYNA software:

Target: identify the material properties for LS DYNA code based virtual model t.
