Abstract
Under-running of passenger automobiles is among the important parameters that need considering during development and design of truck chassis. Front Under-run Protection Device (FUPD) plays a huge role in staying away from under-running of automobiles from top of the truck. In India, the legal needs of the FUPD are fixed in regulation IS 14812-2005. To lessen quantity of iterations throughout the development process, the computational simulation technique is utilized in FUPD analysis for impact loading. An explicit finite element code like Altair Radios can be used for that simulation. The deformation of FUPD bar and plastic strains in FUPD components can be established prior to the physical test for predicting failure from the system to satisfy the compliance needs according to IS 14812-2005. Furthermore, failure from the FUPD attachment points with chassis can be established. Physical testing could be reduced considerably with this particular approach which ultimately cuts down on the total cycle time along with the cost involved with product. This paper describes the FE analysis of FUPD for impact loading. All of the results acquired in the CAE analysis are evaluated from the needs of IS 14812-2005 that could lessen the process development cost and time active in the same
