Slam Analysis Abi

This document discusses slam analysis for closures like hoods. It describes the types of closures, hood assembly components, boundary conditions, and loading conditions used in the analysis. The presentation explains that a transient response analysis will be conducted using NASTRAN SOL. 129 to identify high stress areas and quantify loads on components like the latch, striker, and hinges due to hood slam. The goal is to ensure the vehicle structure can withstand slam loads without failure over the vehicle's lifetime.

Introduction
Doors are hanged on parts should fulfill diverse requirements over their complete life time. The main function of hang on parts is to open and close the car. The damage to the components of the closures induced by the slam , accumulates over the vehicle lifetime and may lead to failure.

Hood Slam Analysis


Hood

opening/closing is a necessary function in a vehicle. But the closing often results in an impact known as hood slam. Impact loads special case of dynamic loads that occur when there is a sudden change in velocity. Dynamic loads- Force generated when the5/30/12 vehicle is in motion

Hood Slam Analysis


The

hood slam load- Rotational velocity applied to the hood in the open position. When the hood reaches the closed (latched) position, Striker contacts the latching mechanism. periphery of the hood contacts seal(s) and bumpers. Then sudden impulse results in 5/30/12

Hood Assembly

Hood Assembly
Latch Mechanism which catches, holds, and releases the striker in hood closing and locking systems Found on door side in doors, decklids, and tailgates and on body side in hoods Striker Small bar on door side of latch mechanism which strikes the latch on closure and is then held in place until the latch is released Found on body side in doors, decklids, and tailgates and on door side in hoods 5/30/12

Hood Assembly
Weather-strip seal: Rubber seal found around doors, glass, and deck lid openings to prevent seepage of water into the vehicle interior

Hood Assembly
Hood Bumper:
This bumper is used on the radiator support and is adjustable in order to help get the correct panel alignment at the front of the hood. They also help reduce rattles by minimizing metal-to-metal contact.

Boundary Conditions:

initial angular velocity to all rotating closure parts about hinge pivot.

Angular

velocity based on the hood geometry w(omega)= V / r where : w= hood rotational velocity about the hinge pin centerline 5/30/12

TRANSIENT RESPONSE ANALYSIS (NASTRAN SOL.


129)
Transient

response or natural response is the response of a system to a change from equilibrium. Its purpose is to identify areas of the hood structure subject to high stress, quantify latch, striker, bumper, and hinge loads, and calculate the structural fatigue 5/30/12 damage due to a door impact.

Transient solution Equation Transient solution uses the following equation and evaluates the structural response with a fixed integration time step (t)
