Design optimization of a B-pillar for crashworthiness of vehicle side impact

In this study, Hypermesh and Catia V5 software were adopted for finite element analysis (FEA) of a vehicle B-pillar. The design objectives were to optimise the B-Pillar such that the maximum displacement, weight, and maximum stress value of B-Pillar is minimised without compromising its yield streng...
