Modeling, simulation and optimization approaches for design of lightweight car body structures

<p>Simulation-based design optimization and finite element method are used in this research to investigate weight reduction of car body structures made of metallic and composite materials under different design criteria. Besides crashworthiness in full frontal, offset frontal, and side impact...
